Have you ever been handed a recipe and thought, “huh, this doesn’t look right?” Enter this recipe.

It was sugar cookie time in AEC land and I asked my mother-in-law for her go-to recipe for the best sugar cookie, and she sent me a screen shot of a tombstone/gravestone in Iowa. At first I was like… “say what?” Then I read the recipe and honestly, I thought she was having me on. But after a little googling, I realized that this recipe was not a joke and that others did a similar variation. But in true Adventures in Everyday Cooking form… I decided to film it. And okay… we got a money cookie.

Thank you to Rachel for suggesting this recipe and a huge thanks to the family of Maxine Menster for sharing your mom’s recipe with the rest of the world.
