Grandma Carol's Sugar Cookies

Grandma Carol used to make these every year along with other holiday cookies for her kids, and in turn for her two grandsons. She took great delight in baking up these sugar cookies yearly with her grandsons and helping them to decorated them. The tradition continues, as I baked these up for the first time, and my 20 year old son came in to help me with grandma's sugar cookies. It was fun.
