Mammy's Sugar Cookies
Source: My Grandmother's recipe, Elda Swavely Hartman ... from Aunt Betty (Dad's sister) as told to my sister Coreen, December 2011
I've spent almost 30 years trying to duplicate this recipe, have come close, but never quite got it. Thankful to now have it!

1 cup sugar
2 eggs
