I received this recipe from an aunt on 12/16/1964. It has served us through 5 children, 5 grand kids, and 3 greats. Always with wonderful results I am now 70 yrs old. Tonight I decided to mix up a batch so the kids coming tomorrow could decorate. One problem I only had another brand of oil. Well you'd think someone my age would know better. Doesn't work folks. My husband is on his way to get MAZOLA. Happy Baking. This is really a great recipe.

I've been making this recipe for about 45 years too. I got it from a Mazola oil advertisement in a magazine. Last year I decided to make Martha Stewart sugar cut out cookies. Everyone was very disappointed and said they liked the old recipe the best. it is very easy to roll out and the dough does not stick to the cookie cutters. I usually only bake the cookies for about 7 minutes. It has a very delicate flavor.

I have been using this recipe for sugar cookies for 15 years. A dear friend shared it with me and taught me how to make great sugar cookies. I am now famous for my sugar cookies. Two tips I have is to roll them on the thick side. Also, I bake for 7 mins or until only the bottoms are lightly browned. The tops will look underdone. Then, frost with buttercream icing with extra vanilla and a little salt. Delicious!
