Hi Kay:-) I have not made these cookies but it is the only sugar cookie recipe in Mrs. Field's Best Ever Cookie Book so it might be worth giving them a try to see if they are similar to what you are looking for. I hope they work for you.
Christmas Sugar Cookies
Yield: About 3 dozen
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) salted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Colored sugars or sprinkles
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour and salt with a wire whisk.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed. Add the egg and vanilla, and beat until well mixed. Scrape down sides of bowl, then add the flour mixture. Blend on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
Gather dough into a ball. Flatten the ball into a disk and wrap tightly in plastic wrap or a plastic bag. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.
On a floured surface, roll out dough to a 1/4-inch thickness. With cookie cutters, cut dough into desired shapes and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Decorate with colored sugars or sprinkles.
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, being careful not to brown. Immediately transfer cookies with a spatula to a cool, flat surface.
