sugar cookie recipe?

[MHooch]

Does anybody have a good, basic sugar cookie recipe? I never have gotten the hang of them, and they are either too thin and crisp, or too fat and not cooked through. My rolling technique must not be good. And do you decorate BEFORE, or ice AFTER you do yours? I want to give them another try this year.

I typically use either this one from Williams Sonoma, or I use another one that a girl gave to me a fwe years ago. The one she gave me is more cake-like than other sugar cookies I've had, but it's never failed to impress at a party. I'll try to scan it for you and send it via email.
