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.
