I received this recipe from my ExMIL many years ago. This is a Christmas "must" around my house. The best part is that they do not require any special ingredients. Most everyone has the ingredients for these in the pantry and fridge.

my grandmother use to make these all the time I looked but couldnt find the exact recipe on here so I thought I would post it.* update just made these today,,, and I used about 4 1/2 cups of flour, baked at 350 for about 9 min,,,( they are perfect when they just start to brown,,, )(also the thinner the crunchier they are yummm. ) you get about 50 plus cookies depending on how thin and how big your cookie cutters are. just like I remember them,,, but they were surprisingly easy to make.
