This is a very basic recipe used for cut-out cookies. It’s probably 100 years old but my version comes from a cook book I got for a wedding gift in 1962. Chilling the dough is the big secret to cut out cookies. Some people roll it out on a cookie sheet, cut out your cookies and re-chill on the pan before taking away the excess dough, then popping them in the oven.
