MOM'S CRACKED SUGAR COOKIES
This is a sugar cookie that you don't have to roll and cut. I always use a cookie scoop when making these. The last time I made them I had some organic cane sugar that I used to roll them in, it really seemed to add some extra sparkle to the finished cookies. The note my Mom had on the recipe is DO NOT double or flatten the cookies. The cookies will turn out slightly differently if you use a hand mixer or a big stand mixer. I use my KitchenAid stand mixer & bake the cookies for 10 minutes. They turn out flatter, slightly soft & chewy, just the way I like them. If you use a stand mixer you could chill your dough or add 2 tsp of instant clearjeI to it to stop the cookies from spreading as much. I think they would make a wonderful icecream sandwich.

THE BEST ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES
Whenever you make these cookies for someone, be sure to bring along several copies of the recipe! You will be asked for it, I promise! NOTE: I make icing with confectioners' sugar and milk. I make it fairly thin, as I 'paint' the icing on the cookies with a pastry brush. Thin enough to spread easily but not so thin that it just makes your cookies wet and runs off.

JUNE'S FAMOUS SUGAR COOKIES
This is a recipe I came across that is supposed to be the famed sugar cookies from my Junior High School Cafeteria, Clark Jr. High in Vincennes, IN. I haven't tried them myself, but everyone says they are the very best so I'm getting them in so I can give them ago. Typically they are iced with a thick layer of butter cream icing as well.

SHOTWELL'S FAMOUS SUGAR COOKIES
This is a sugar cookie recipe passed down to me by my mother, who made these every year. They take a bit more work than some and the dough requires refrigeration before rolling, but it is SO worth it! Makes 6-8 Dozen.

Steps:
- Mix 1 cup sugar with 5 cups flour and baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.
- Blend butter in with pastry cutter/pastry blender until crumbly.
- Beat eggs slightly in separate bowl and add remaining sugar gradually to egg mixture.
- Blend buttermilk and vanilla into egg mixture, then blend egg mixture together with dry ingredients. I use powdered buttermilk mix.
- Chill dough in plastic wrap or plastic bags in refrigerator until ready to bake (or use immediately). If you are short on time, put the dough in the freezer for 15 minutes or so, rather than in the refrigerator overnight.
- Turn 1/4 of dough onto lightly floured board.
- Roll to about 1/8" to 1/4" thick. Cut with cookie cutters or hand-cut into circles or other shapes. Use cookie cutters that are relatively simple -- fancier cookie shapes tend to burn or break more easily with this recipe.
- Dip cookie top lightly into cinnamon/sugar blend or into nutmeg/sugar blend, or shake on top of cookies.
- Bake at 375 ° F for 6-9 minutes, until *very* light brown at edges.
- Put on wire rack to cool.
