Sugar Cookies

This is by far the best homemade sugar cookie recipe I have ever eaten. It has a secret ingredient that truly makes it taste extra special. I always make a larger batch of dough and freeze whatever I don't use because these are so nice to roll out on a whim. This year, I made them into stars, and last year they were snowflakes!
