Everyone had a "hay day" when our daughter, Naomi, married Philip Shellenberg. Naomi's grandma, Lilly Person, who has made these tender cookies for 48 years, fixed them in the shape of hearts for the wedding. They got gobbled up in a "heartbeat".

These are a nice recipe. Similar to one i've always used for braided red/green candy cane shaped xmas cookies. Anyone who tries the recipe needs to be patient, fridge the dough for at least as long as recipe indicates. this cuts down on stickiness when handling. If your hands are super-warm this stickies up the dough as you work. Rechill unbraided dough between batches, during baking, so dough remains chilled for working.This does reduce stickiness. Can dust hands LIGHTLY with flour occassionally too. If my boys can handle and enjoy the task of braiding and shaping these cookies, adults can too! Get creative (instead of throwing it out!!yeesh!)with your dough, roll into log, fridge or freeze, slice and bake.

They tasted really good but I ended up throwing away more the half of it, because the dough was sticking to everything. And the shaping was very hard.
