"I never thought I could make a better sugar cookie that the ones that came out of the Pillsbury Dough Boy's tube. I was so wrong! I found this recipe in my Taste of Home Best of Country Cookies book. Only butter for this recipe, no substitutes."

I am a St. Louis girl through and through. I am a mom of three, two boys and a wonderful daughter, married to my high school sweetie for the last 28 years. My hubby and I are on the verge of being empty nesters and are excited to see what this phase of our lives has in store for us. In the last year my sister and I have been exploring our family history and it has been a wonderful and educational experience. Food and cooking has been a big part of my life from the time I was a little girl and I look forward to sharing that same, wonderful part of our heritage to my future grandchildren.
