Around 1975, I watched commercials for Pillsbury Sugar Cookies on TV. I asked my mother to buy some of the dough and she bought chocolate chip, instead. When I said I wanted to frost and decorate them, she handed me her 1957 vintage Betty Crocker Cook Book (the year she got married). I found this recipe then and I've been using it ever since. I use all butter and Almond extract nowadays, but it is still my favorite cookie. I had a teacher who dearly loved my cookies and asked me to make them on several occasions.
