Sugar cookies…..there are so many recipes for them. But this one is special. I grew up eating my Grandma Broz’s sugar cookies and they were special because only she could make them so delicious. Our tradition was to dip them in coffee. My kids grew to love them the very same way, dipping them in coffee at an early age. My mom has taken over the role of making these delicious sugar cookies since my grandmother is no longer living on earth. I have made them several times now and continue to work to get them as perfect as grandma! I love remembering these special things about my grandmother and being able to pass them along as a family legacy. Enjoy this recipe!
