SUPER SOFT HOMEMADE SUGAR COOKIES

So, I tried my hand at a variety of sugar cookie recipes, but each time we always came back to this one. It’s my husband’s favorite, and becoming one of mine also. This is the sugar cookie recipe that my mother-in-law made while my husband was growing up. She would of course triple the batch for her three ravenous sons, and ever so patient daughter, and would exclaim with love, “When their gone, their gone!” The problem at our house is that when their gone, I just make more.

The trick to making these soft is to not over bake them! I like to roll them out thick, around 1/4 an inch, and then bake them for 7-8 minutes (usually 7 minutes). If I roll them thinner then I reduce the time down to 6 minutes.
