Grandma Dowler’s Sugar Cookies

My paternal great grandmother lived to be 99 years old. Her name was Laura Dowler. I am her namesake. She loved that and so do I. I actually have a lot of memeories of her. I especially hold the relationship between her and my dad near to my heart. He was so sweet with her. She had many great attributes and gifts she gave to the world. Today I am baking her sugar cookies. She always had sugar cookies to send home or waiting when you visited. I can see them now with her signature raisin on top of each cookie. Sometimes I picked it off and sometimes I did not. I will make sure to have raisins handy when baking her recipe because I can’t imagine her cookies without them. I hope you enjoy this recipe. I can’t wait to share these cookies and her memory. I have them boxed up to share with BK my first kitchen connection for 2019 and if I had to think real hard on it I’d venture to say he was the first to introduce me to the kitchen. More stories of my dad and his recipes to come I’m sure.
