My Grandmother didn't have much money. She was widowed young and she had seven children, so at Christmas she would make these cookies and give each family a box. These cookies are a very fond memory for me. I now make them for my Grandchildren.

Refrigerator sugar cookies.

Provided by Tracey Eller

Categories     Refrigerator Cookies

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups white sugar
2 cups unsalted butter
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Cream sugar with butter. Add eggs and mix well. Sift baking soda and all-purpose flour. Add to the butter mixture.
  • Shape dough into rolls, wrap in wax paper and chill at least several hours, preferable overnight.
  • Slice as thinly as possible (very sharp, thin blade knife dipped in water works best). When roll starts to get soft, return to refrigerator and start on another roll.
  • Decorate with colored sugar, etc. and bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven until set but not brown, 8 - 10 minutes. Yield depends on how thin the slices are but you should get at least 3 dozen. NOTE: This is one of those family recipes that was taught to me with instructions like "add flour til it looks right" and "bake it til it's done". I have tested these measurements but I've never been good at using a timer or paying attention to how many I've made!
