Sometimes the best recipes are the ones that you have written on an envelope and that are handed down from generation to generation. They are tested and true, filling your home with amazing smells. They bring memories of happy times because you have made them time and time again for the people you love. This is that recipe for me. My Great Grandmother's Sugar Cookie Recipe. They smell like a happy Christmas to me every time I make them and for advent this past week we made sugar cookies.
