Betty Brown's Butter Cookies Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Betty Brown's Butter Cookies Recipe). This recipe came from Great Gramma LaLonde's neighbor - Betty Brown. It is the only cut-out cookie I remember Grams Lorette ever making. I like them really thin and crispy. Dad prefers them thicker. Frosted is the best, using confectioners' sugar, flavoring, and milk.
