A plate of freshly baked star, Christmas tree, and gingerbread man-shaped cookies on a kitchen counter, with a rolling pin and mixing bowl nearby.

This recipe was my grandmother’s. She passed away in 2002, but some of my fondest memories include her making dozens of these cookies at Christmas for us to enjoy. Now, my girls & I make them year-round using different cookie cutters depending upon the season.
