This is a great recipe. I was going to add it myself until I found yours :) I make them at Christmas too! I add green or red food coloring to the frosting to make them more festive. I also use 1 and 1/2 cups of brown sugar and no granulated sugar and add close to a tablespoon of vanilla as long as a bit of cinnamon. Nice moist cookie. Love it!
