My grandma used to make Mrs. Z’s Famous Sugar Cookies every Christmas, and I would gladly gobble up an entire plate without thinking twice. Named after a neighbor’s secret Christmas cookie recipe, each bite is a crispy and delicious taste of butter and sugar. You will soon find out how addicting they are!
