I made the dough exactly as directed in the recipe without making any adjustments or changes. And I really loved these cookies. I didn't decorate or frost them, and I thought they were just wonderful. But I can imagine they're probably even better with frosting and sprinkles in holiday colors. Thanks for posting your recipe, cheesygiraffe. Made for 2009 Fall Pick-A-Chef.
