Sugar Cut Out Cookies

I decided to make Easter cut out cookies.  This is the cut out recipe my mom has used for years, which she got from her mom (Grandma Cookie).  I guess we called her Grandma Cookie because she always had awesome cookies....so you should probably make these cookies to see why she got such a sweet nickname.  Hope you enjoy!
