Great-Great Grandma Kesler's Sugar Cookies

At a glance:

• pillowy and soft
• delicately sweet
• generations old recipe
• special order cutout shapes

Handcrafted using a cherished family recipe passed down through five generations, each cookie delivers an irresistible combination of pillowy softness and delicate sweetness, topped with the candy-like crispness of royal icing (buttercream available by request).

Granda Kesler's Sugar Cookies have become a beloved favorite, with endless requests to obtain the recipe. While I've shared the recipe, the cryptic instructions - that remain to this day handwritten on a yellow, aged index card - will hardly help recreate the cookies we make, but is also a testament to the real magic of a "secret" family recipe.
