5. I want to thank you for this recipe. I was born and raised in Lancaster, Co. PA. This is the real deal of sugar cookies. The only change I did was what my grandmother did when she baked these cookies. That is she sprinkled them with confectioners sugar instead of cinnamon sugar. Thank you again I will be using this recipe many more times.   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal KATE WILSON Reply 1
