Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
The trick to this recipe is cooling the dough so it wants to go into the shape you want! We put food coloring in the dough at Easter to make pale colored egg shaped cookies. One year we cut out stars and used red icing for a day care "You are a Star" party theme for Candice. Gwen got Linda to make stars and iced in blue for an Eastern Star event! We did pumpkin shape cookies with orange icing and black (raisins or licorice) for Halloween cookies for Libby's and Robynn's classmates.
