I have baked this recipe every holiday season for years when my older children were still at home. I lost my Pillsbury Bake-Off cookbook that had this receipe and could not remember exact measurements so have not been able to bake for my grandchildren. My light bulb went off and I went into the internet to search for the recipe and Merry Christmas to me - I found it. My grandchildren are in for a very special cookie treat this Christmas. I would recommend this cookie to anyone and everyone, good with or without the frosting.
