Show your "Mum" some love and bake her a batch of these sweet tea cookies for Mother's Day. These cookies are scrumptious to nibble with your tea and in between teatimes. Given to me by a dear grad school friend many years ago, this recipe has always been my "go to" sugar cut out cookie recipe. You can decorate the cookies as you wish as shown in the picture above or serve them as is as shown in the picture below. They are equally delicious either way. Will you be sharing tea with someone on Mother's Day?
