*This is a recipe from my great grandmother on my dad's side of the family. These are great frosted or you can use colored sugar on them before you bake them. As a kid we used to use this recipe to make Christmas cookies. My mom also always made us cookies for our birthdays in the shape of our age. I've been doing the same for my own son.
Making some of these tonight! Little footballs and pumpkins. I've never done it before and suddenly got the urge at 7:30 tonight. I'm so random! Thanks for sharing the recipe... these are always good when someone else makes them so hopefully I'm able to deliver as well. ;)
