King Arthur Holiday Butter Cookies and Icing That Hardens
I was sent this recipe from King Arthur with an order I recieved, tried it and they were so tender/crisp and easy to roll out and work with. My DGS helped and we really enjoyed them. Perfect for those holiday cutouts. Timing does not include fridge time.
