Answer 3

I once lived by a little old lady named Mrs. Stover who made sugar cookies. I have tried and altered/changed and did everything I could think of to duplicate that recipe and I can't - so there is no longer any such thing as a good sugar cookie recipe.

Answer 4

you should try the new pillsbury dough that is already cut into cookie-size pieces.......you just put them on the tray and bake, and they taste home-made!
