Christmas cookies are
a great way to keep the kids busy during the holiday season. Make up a batch of
these cookies and let them go to work decorating them. They can be used to
decorate a small tree for their rooms; as gifts put up in Christmas tins for
special people like teachers and the postman; or just to eat. Use green and red
sprinkles and other decorations you can find at the store and any kind of
frosting to decorate. This recipe comes from http://allrecipes.com/recipes/desserts/christmas-coopkies/
