These Christmas cookies are a perennial favorite. They may be rolled out and cut into rounds, stars, or crescents. Often they are hung on the lower branches of the Christmas tree as treats for the younger children.

I had some trouble getting the dough to the right consistency, but once I did, the cookies turned out great. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

These cookies were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some spices next time.
