My Favorite Rolled Sugar Cookies

---

I found this recipe on a bag of wal-mart sugar some time ago, and it was so simple, i had to try it. I have tried a zillion sugar cookie recipes, trying to get the soft cookie i like best. I think i have found the perfect sugar cookie. please note that your cookie yield will vary, depending on what size cookie cutter you used. When i use a variety of sized christmas cookie cutters, i normally get about 2-1/2 dozen.
