Recipe
Mix thoroughly. Chill dough about 2 hours and then roll out 1/4" thick for cutting cookies. Cut out shapes. Bake 8-10 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet just until edges are barely getting golden. Cool and frost with powder sugar, milk and vanilla glaze and sprinkle with colored sugars. A family tradition at Christmas! We also make these by rolling dough into 1" balls and flattening with sugared glass or sprinkling with colored sugars before baking. Makes about 4 dozen.
