These Simple But Delicious Buttery Cookies Don't Have to Be Just A Holiday Treat
They are so good, you will want them year round
I am posting two sugar cookie recipes
Although they have different ingredients they taste identical
I have made both at the same time and did taste tests
No one was able to tell the difference.
So, you can choose the one that suits your pantry ;^)
