NOTES : This recipe is from the first cookbook I purchased in 1965 right after we were married. It made a good reference for me to learn to cook! We always used this recipe for cut out cookies for Christmas,Valentines or whatever. I have made large valentine cookies for an entire classroom to decorate!!! Oh! Yes!! ..the room mother days!! It is easy to work with and actually taste good!
