A little twist on a classic cut out cookie recipe. While I feel like we have been celebrating Christmas since Halloween, it is time to really get into the spirit with all of your holiday baking.
I frosted these with a simple powdered sugar and milk frosting and then dipped them in colored sugar. Feel free to decorate in any way you want!
