Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is an old sugar cookie recipe from Grandma Anderson and is made every Christmas. This has always been the last cookie that I make because it takes 2 days; one day to bake and another full day to decorate and clean-up, but worth the effort. Santa holding a decorated sugar cube “gift” was a favorite of Allison Elizabeth.
