directions

  • Put the first 5 ingredients in a bowl.
  • Beat well with an electric mixer.
  • Add the flour.
  • Mix gently with a spoon until well blended.
  • Cover and put in the refrigerator.
  • Chill well.
  • Roll the dough out on a flat, floured surface.
  • Do not roll the dough out too thin or too thick. I usually roll it out to about a 1/4 inch thick.
  • Cut your cookies out and put them on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes at 350 degrees.
  • **Note** do not overbake. I usually take them out of the over when the bottom of the cookies are slightly brown.
  • Let cool in a single layer on wax paper.
  • When they are cool, frost and decorate with colored sugars.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>This year I will be married to my husband Tom 15yrs. Time flies!! I have two beautiful kids. Our son Hayden Thomas is 14yr old and into sports & video games. Our daughter Addison Claire is 9yrs old and is taking ballet, tap & acrobats & loves to draw. We also have a chubby puppy (Shorkie) named Moe. Cooking is a hobby of mine. I love it. I grew up in a Polish family with many great cooks. My grandfather owned one of the best meat shops in town...now his grandson's own the buisness. Cooking is a family tradition. I grew up eating large, homemade meals. Lots of meat and potatoes. <br />I am trying to use this site as my personal cookbook. Hoping to not <br />use my recipebox anymore. <br />I have a little pet peeve. It is when people ask for a recipe, because they liked something you made...and then don't follow the recipe given. Go figure!! If you change my recipe....and it doesn't turn out...please don't tell anyone you got the recipe from me. LOL.</p>
