Easter Egg Cookies image

My mother started baking these cookies with me and my eight brothers and sisters when I was a child, and I carried on the tradition with our four youngsters when they were little. Now, my children are grown and can make these cookies with their own tots. -Barbara Neuweg, West Point, Iowa
