Prize-Winning Sugar Cookies image

I don't know where this recipe originated, but it was a favorite of my Mom's when I was growing up. Her notes on the recipe says, "County Fair Winner". The dough is batter-like in consistency and cookies are very soft and cake-like.

I had trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. They spread out too much in the oven.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good.
