To me, these are the perfect holiday cookies. The batch makes a lot, so there are plenty to share. I used powdered sugar icing on mine, tinted with food coloring, and I decorated some of them with cinamon imperials. They are absolutely delicious. They are a little chewy, and they smell like Christmas! I will make them every year from now on.
