Recipe Name Vanilla-Butter Sugar Cookies Submitted by Guest Recipe Description My mom and I make these cookies every year for Christmas. We share them with our friends and family and everyone loves them. While they are scrumptious and are meant to be eaten as a festive treat, they are high in calories and fat. So indulge a little, but follow the rule of moderation. Quantity 84 Quantity Unit 7 cookie sheets Prep Time (minutes) 35 Cook Time (minutes) 10 Ready In (minutes) 45
