Jodi’s Butter Cookies

(Adapted from Lynsey Lee)

So, here is the “Jodi” version of my family favorite butter cookie.  My sister says its the butter, not sugar cookies.  Whatever it is, it is one of my fondest recipes from my mom.  I swear you can taste the love she put in it.  She was in the kitchen for days…I didn’t understand it all, but now I do.  I love bringing smiles to my family and friends faces, makes my heart sing!
