This is the sugar cookie recipe my family has used for generations. Therefore, to my pallet at least, these are the best cookies in the world. I can only make them a couple of times a year because I refuse to get burned out or fat on them.

Very similar to the one I've used for years, too, and yes, you MUST use 1/2 solid shortening for these to be that wonderful crisp around the edges/soft in the middle texture...a really great cookie!
