Really Good Rolled Sugar Cookies

Yia Yia's Note:

Sweet, tender and easy to make! Easy to roll out and it doubles very well. You can't beat these! Prep time doesn't include chilling time or rolling out. I've even rolled these without chilling with no problems.

This was a test run for the holidays, this makes a ton of dough, I froze half of it for next time, these really rise when baked, they are soft and then firm up after a while, great recipe, thanks Tia Yia!...Kitten:)
