Sugar Cookies

One of my very best friends gave me this sugar cookie recipe a while ago. I was asked to bring a dessert to our annual family Memorial Day BBQ this year and decided I would finally try this recipe. So Yummy! As I started to make these cookies, I realized I didn't have any white flour so I substituted whole wheat flour that I had ground on the most fine setting. I was a little worried how they would turn out... and they tasted delicious!!!
