“Killer” Sugar Cookies

(from cokerlj’s recipe box)

The lady I got this recipe from used a small ice cream scoop to dip these out and place on cookie sheet…about 6 cookies on a sheet. She then sprinkled granulated sugar on them prior to baking. She used “Mexican Vanilla”…this gave the cookies a slight cinnamon flavor in my opinion so to achieve this I add 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon to my dough.
