Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe came from Grama and easily makes a billion cookies, with an unknown number consumed at the time of decorating. Only children get to decorate. By the following summer you will still be finding red and green sprinkles between floor boards and in table cracks. Grama made them for her kids, Polly made them for us, we made them for our children and they are now making them for their own, Polly's great grandbabies.
