These cookies were a hit at my son's preschool Christmas party, they were all gone in an instant. I had so much fun making them, I'm off to make another batch because the ones I made are all gone and they were supposed to last till Christmas holidays!! I tried to keep them quite thick when I rolled them out so they stayed really soft. Merry Christmas everyone and enjoy these awesome cookies.

This is so near the recipe - even the frosting - that I was famous for years ago when my children were small, that I know these cookies have got to be great!! These cookies went to school, church, doctor's offices, etc. and I baked them for many people because they wanted them too!! (every holiday)In fact, I was just asked for the recipe by another generation of bakers a few months ago. **LOL** I gave it a 5. Hugs and Blessings. - Linda
