I have been eating Ethel’s sugar cookies since I was a baby. My fondest Christmas memories are of eating these at my grandmother’s house on Christmas. This past year I lost the index card on which she had written this secret family recipe. In a desperate attempt to find this recipe again I googled Ethel, herself. Excited to find out some details about this beloved ancestor of mine and her cookies I was shocked to find this recipe was not, in fact, created by a mystery ancestor of mine, but was from a page in a Betty Crocker cookbook.
Despite discovering that my entire life was a lie I still rate these cookies a 10/10 and will be enjoying them with a cup of cocoa during my emergency therapy session this week.
