Notes: I remember making these with Mom as a teenager. I loved making these at Christmas time. We used to use colored sugar and cinnamon balls to decorate them. Sometimes we would use food coloring to color the dough itself.
I used to make them for my children and now I make them with my grandchildren. They love doing the decorating. Ken has even come to help once or twice. It's a great family Christmas activity centered around the kitchen and kids love participating.
