Personal Notes:
The boys and I would make these for every holiday and birthday. They loved taking their uniquely decorated cookies as a school treat (back in the day when home made treats could be taken to school) They would love to roll them out and cut with the cookie cutters. Some would be thick and some thin. They didn't really like to frost them but they always wanted to throw the sprinkles and red hots on. It would be a royal mess, flour and sprinkles everywhere, but it was always fun for them!
