Old-Fashioned Sugar Cookies

Teresa Ambra
These simple Sugar Cookies are big on flavor, but low on work! Just roll in sugar and bake - no rolling out cookie dough, no frosting or decorating the cookies. Scrumptious in flavor, but quick and easy. This vintage recipe is excellent for tailgating parties, potlucks or grilling out with friends.
