Q. I hope you can help me. My grandmother made wonderful sugar cookies in the `60s. She used a glass to cut them out. She sprinkled sugar on the cookie, I think, before she baked them. The cookie was about \-inch thick and was light and fluffy. _ Patty Henderson, Macon, Ga.

A. There are countless versions of sugar cookies, so it is hard to know exactly what your grandmother made. This is my favorite recipe for rolled sugar cookies _ these are puffy and cake-like rather than thin and crisp. You may use a different flavoring, such as almond extract (decrease to 1 teaspoon), or lemon juice. If I have buttermilk, I use it to give just a subtle tang.

You can make a dozen cookies at a time and refrigerate or freeze the remaining dough to bake later. (I've kept it in the refrigerator for several weeks with no discernible difference in quality.)
