One of my favorite cookies to make is a sugar cookie. You can do so much with it. This cookie recipe comes from Bernyce Coleman, a good friend of mine from Hutsonville, Ill. She has several different kinds. It just depends on what flavor cake mix you use. I’m going to give you two recipes this time. I’ve not tried the Peach Cobbler because I can’t have peaches. With the cookies you can add nuts, chips or candies. The kids really enjoy making these. Thanks Bernyce.
