Great American

Have you herd of the “Great American Recipes” cards?

Many years ago I purchased the “Great American Recipes” cards, and thier was a great cookie recipe there. They were lemon sugar cookies, and they were SOOOOO good. The problem is that I lost that card, and would realy like to make them again. As much as I hate baking from scratch, these cookies are worth it. Does any one have that recipe?

It’s from the McCall’s Great American Recipe Card Collection.

These cookies will just melt in your mouth. They are so mild and delicate that they make a prefect side for tea.
