LEABELLE'S SUGAR CRINKLES

Leabelle's Sugar Crinkles image

I hadn't made sugar cookies in years because I got tired of all the rolling out and cutting the shapes and trying to get them to the cookie sheet without breaking or otherwise messing them up. A friend shared this recipe with me and I'm back to making them at the holidays.... however, they are delicious any time!
