Notes: This recipe is from Jessica's friend Emily Kennedy's grandmother. It is our sugar cookie recipe of choice for Christmas. I typically fix only half a batch and it is plenty since we have other sweet treats for the holidays.
We served these at Jessica and Spencer's wedding. They were in the shape of rectangles with piped frosting and shimmery dust! Everyone loved them!
