This Recipe Reminds me of Tea Cakes My Great Grandmother Use to bake, Though I altered it a little by also adding 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract and Baking 12-15 minutes because after tasting the first batch We Prefer a Crunchier Cookie.. Other than this It is a Wonderful Sugar Cookie/Tea Cake Recipe 5 Stars Here!!
