YUCK

I have never liked sugar cookies. But the love of my husband has driven me to more insane pursuits than finding the perfect sugar cookie. He is a total Loft House cookie man, but me being me and hating to buy anything in the bakery section that I can make at home have finally found and developed the perfect sugar cookie according to Brian. Pay attention cause I even like this one after having sworn off my least favorite bakery good due to the plethora of poppycock on the market. SO without further adieu here you are. Bake this one 6 min. turn the sheet and then another 2 min for tablespoon size cookies. 8 min with 2 min after the turn for golf ball size cookies and make sure to push them down if you don't roll them out or they won't flatten out. Have Fun!
