Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Alex and Emily enjoyed making these cooking. Not only because they could handle the cookie press but they liked to create their own fancy cookie.
I especially liked making these cookies with Mom because I can remember saving all of the Cheerios cereal box tops and sending away for the cookie press. I was so excited when it arrived at our house on Wabash Ave in Kenmore. Mom passed the cookie press down to me when Alex was old enough to help make cookies and every Christmas they are the first cookies that I can be sure that the kids will want to help make.
