Deaun Wilkinson is a wonderful woman who lived in our ward.  She was Aria's Activity Day leader.  Her youngest daughter Jamie Wilkinson Webster now lives in the family home and continues to make her mom's sugar cookies.  This is how they make the cookies, but it also works to mix them the more traditional way.  The salt in the butter is enough salt for the cookies.
