Soft Sugar Cookie image

This recipe has been in the family for four generations. When I got married, Mom made sure to pass this recipe along. For variation, I sometimes eliminate the raisins and sprinkle the tops with colored sugar or leave them plain and frost when cooled.

These cookies were a disaster! They were hard and crumbly, and they didn't taste good at all. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Not bad! The cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
