So So Good.....

This recipe is fast and easy. Also to make them look like Christmas cookies roll them in some red & green sugars or if you would like a bit of chocolate put some chocolate chips in them. The dough is very sticky, but I sprinkled a bit of flour on it and mixed it up, so I could handle it better. If you have more patience then me or time you could refrigerate the dough for a couple of hours to make the dough easier to handle. My husband, who is a cookie gourmand, gives them an enthusiastic two thumbs up. I'm afraid to say that these are one of those cookies that are just hard to stop eating:)
