CAT JOHNSON'S BUTTER COOKIES
I grew up eating these cookies. It was my grandmother’s recipe and my mother used it for the Christmas cookies we’d make together each year. But it's so versatile, I also remember heart cookies on Valentines Day and chicks on Easter. It’s still my favorite today and I own so many differently-shaped cookie cutters because of it, including the newest additions to my collection–a cowboy boot and a Texas longhorn. Enjoy!
