Personal Notes:
Many happy times were spent mixing, rolling, and sampling the dough for Grandma's sugar cookies each and every Christmas. This was and is one of our family's favorite cookies. We especially enjoy decorating the cookies when they are finished. There is just a little competition among the bakers as to the best frosted cookies. Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa Crabtree's house was special and centered around cookies, community and Christ.
