I grew up with these as the “go-to” sugar cookie recipe of the family.
I have many fond memories of cutting out shapes, decorating with sprinkles, and baking the cookies with my mom. But technically, these aren’t sugar cookies. The original recipe called them “old fashioned tea cakes” and it was from the 1953 edition of the Red River Cookbook published in Shreveport Louisiana (and currently out of print).
When I first became a mom, I couldn’t WAIT to share the holiday sugar cookie tradition with my boys.
