These are the Holiday cookies I grew up with, we made them as a family when I was growing up, I made them with my daughter and now I make them with my grand kids, everyone LOVES them, not your everyday sugar cookie, there so much better. My Mom gave me the original recipe, from a 1967 McCalls Magazine, as you can see it's been through a lot!
