This past week I made two recipes I had not made before and both were so good that I had to share them with you! The first of the week I got hungry for a good sugar cookie so I went to Google and began looking at different recipes and stopped when I saw the one that sounded like a great easy and just old fashioned sugar cookie! Well, I have made it twice already and can’t count how many I ate! Because they were so good and a friend of mine told me that sugar cookies were her favorite cookie, I ended up sharing some with her and a few other people who needed a little pick me up this past week! these cookies were well received and if I was giving stars,,this cookie would get 5 stars!! It is so easy and bakes up so fluffy and holds their shape so beautifully.

Tomorrow I’ll post the strawberry cake recipe!
