Mom's Christmas Cookies
Great fun to make especially when young ones are
around to decorate the
cookies after they are baked.
|
This recipe came from Ginnie Goheen and will
always be remembered as a Christmas favorite. Sometimes the decorated
cookies were made with a hole at the top for a ribbon so that they could be
hung on trees. Makes about 5 dozen cookies. |
