Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
These were a favorite of mine as a child. It was fun because I got to help frost the cookies and add sprinkles if I wanted to. Mom was a fantastic baker, but I am not. So, to carry on the tradition of frosting butter (sugar) cookies with my grandchildren, I buy store-bought cookie dough and let them cut them out with holiday cookie cutters.
