Recipe by Mom10

Another childhood recipe- this one from my Aunt Pauline. The "cookies" are more of a rich pastry making them delicate and sweet. I like their small size and sparkle.

DIRECTIONS

Mix cookie dough thoroughly and chill. (I cut the margarine in with a knife like for pie crust.)
Roll 1/8" thick and cut with juice glass. Prick each 4 times with fork. Coat both sides with granulated sugar.
Bake at 350* just until lightly browned. (About 16 minutes.) Cool.
Prepare frosting, tinting half pink and half green. Put 2 cookies together with frosting.
