Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies

This recipe I add with a heavy heart. It was given to me by my Mother-in-Law, Anna May Keuhn. Anna passed away on April 25, 2008 after a long and fierce battle with cancer. For seven long years Anna indure the torture of chemotherapy only to lose her battle. Anna had been a part of my life for over 30 years and I will miss her terribly. She was the grandmother to my two girls and a symbol of strength and kindness.

Anna was a wonderful cook and baker and this is not the only recipe I have from her. To Honor her memory and to show all the love I have for her I am sharing this recipe with my readers.
