Aunt Edna's Sugar Cookies image

My husband's aunt worked as a personal chef for many years. She was one of those incredible people who never measured anything, everything had become second nature. I convinced her to measure everything when she baked a batch--and I was lucky to get a written copy of this before she passed away. They are the most delicious soft sugar cookies I have ever had. :o)

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. They were a little dry.
