Not quite but close. Grandma died in 1996--RIP--but us left her recipe for sugar cookies! I always liked all her cookies but the ones she made for Christmas were the best. She made them browner than most--not burnt but brown and she put a spice called Anise in them. My Wife made me a batch yesterday and it is hard for me to leave them alone--tractor shaped and of course GREEN so it is legal to put this on this site--YUM---Tee

They look great! I wonder if you Grandma might have brushed some heavy cream onto the surface of the cookies before they were baked. I know my mama liked to brush some cream on top of pie crust, to make a nice golden brown appearance on the crust. I didn’t change the flavour any, but it would help her win first prize at the fair.

If you had some of the cookies 2 years ago at the Waterloo pull at the courtesy booth they were The wife's. I think she made 20 dozen!--Merry Christmas to you and your family---Ray's Dad

I used to Bake all kinds of cookies and breads, but my A1c hit 7 and had to cut it out because you can't bake without trying some LOL

I know my mom’s sugar cookie recipe came from a Wisconsin Electric Company cook book some time in the 50s

Speaking of grandma's cookies, I lost my Grandma in 1992-3 and missed her cookies. married my wife in 1998 and damn if my mother in law makes her cookies the same way and tastes like Grandma is still baking. Best decision I ever made. I have the WORLD's best Mother In Law!!!!!!!!!!!!! And she likes and drives tractors too.

Nice! The anise flavoring sounds interesting in a sugar cookie. I love the square red anise candy (if it us still sold in stores).

Don't throw it away--If they had a cab on them the water would sit under the rubber mat and the rust would pit it bad--maybe you will find someone restoring one---
