 My Favorite Christmas Cookie Recipe

I make many different kinds of Christmas cookies and love them all.  But my favorite recipe is for the rolled out sugar cookies.  This recipe I have used the past ten years or so comes from my daughter Kelly. She came home with this recipe when she was in high school, it is from her home economics class.  That was quite a few years ago, but this recipe is a good one and I will be sticking with it for years to come.  I double  or triple the following recipe.

Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 5-8 minutes, till edges are brown. Remove from cookie sheet and cool.
