Sugar Cookies

(Shared recipe submitted by Heather Hostetler.)

Heather writes: "Emma, my sister-in-law, gave me a recipe for sugar cookies that I wanted to share with you. They are very good as is. These cookies are very high in fat, but they are worth it. I made some and they lasted only one day. Everyone loved them. It is a very soft dough, and very easy to make. I think it only took me about a half hour from start to finish."
