Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I mix these by hand. This recipe was submitted to the Bethany ARP Bicentennial Cookbook as "Aunt Lula's Sugar Cookies" by Wynelle Smith. I have made thousands of these over the years for Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas in every imaginable shape. I have found that rolling a small amount of dough at a time works best so that there is as little as possible extra flour mixed in. Also, I use a pastry brush to help loosen the edges of the cookies from the floured surface and to brush any excess flour from the cookies.
