MUZ'S DROP SUGAR COOKIES
This is my first creation on this site and I couldn't think of a better recipe to share with everyone. First off, I'm a 22-year-old man and when I was in my teens, my great-grandmother, who I called Muz, would make sugar cookies all the time for me and my grandparents. They were phenomenal, as she had perfected it over the years. She passed at the young age of 95 in 2006 and left the recipe in one of her boxes. Now that I've been cooking, I found her recipe for her Drop Sugar Cookies last week and made them last night. They are awesome, but you'll learn that when you make them. Enjoy!

In recipes like this, that use a lot of vanilla extract, I find it makes a big difference if you use pure vanilla instead of imitation. I look for sales & stock up. That & real butter! Ok, everything else too. :)
