Mom's Sugar Cookies

Patsy Snyder Hennessey
"An old-fashioned recipe, for fragrant and soft sugar cookies. You will not get the best results if you choose to use margarine and imitation flavorings. Decorate with your favorite icing and decorations."

Best sugar cookie I have ever eaten! 3 hour chill time is too long. Press the dough into a rectangle , wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 45 minutes. I rolled it out and cut out 2 dozen cookies...
