The Test Kitchen Is Open

For a long time I have looked for the perfect

sugar cookie.

I am not sure if this one is perfect,

but it is very close.

An old cookbook,

dated 1962 from Ft Worth Texas,

was my resource.

There are two sugar cookie recipes in this relic.

I took the simplest one,

added a few things to make it my own,

and

yum.

If you too looked for a good sugar cookie recipe,

you might like to try this one.
