I've been using this recipe ever since I was a little girl. I like it because it's easier than making cutout cookies. You can easily mix-and-match your favorite ingredients to create different looks. -Patricia Reese, Pewaukee, Wisconsin

I had a hard time getting the cookies to hold their shape. I think I might have needed to chill the dough for longer.
