Personal
Notes: These taste like old fashioned tea cakes. They
are the best cut-out cookies I have ever made.
I hope you enjoy making and eating them as
much as my family has.
Tommy loved to decorate them when he was
young. They make great Christmas trees. We
spead them with green frosting and then he
added "decorations".
They are good for any special occasion. The
frosting can be tinted any color and you can
use colored sugar, sprinkles, etc. Be creative!
