There are several ways to make these popular holiday cookies, but this recipe is the one my family has used for years. The dough tends to be a little on the stickier side (could it be all of that sugar?), but extra refrigeration helps it firm up.
Even though these cookies are a bit messy to put together, they’re always the first to go at any cookie exchange or holiday party.
