Personal Notes:
The key to this holiday staple is to roll the dough thin. It says 1/4 inch but really go a little thinner than that, which is my mom's secret to the perfect sugar cookie. We do these in steps: mix one day and chill, roll out to cut and cook the next, and let them sit out to decorate the following. What's especially nice about these is that the whole family can gather to decorate them.
