Steps:
- Put the first 5 ingredients in a bowl.
- Beat well with an electric mixer.
- Add the flour.
- Mix gently with a spoon until well blended.
- Cover and put in the refrigerator.
- Chill well.
- Roll the dough out on a flat, floured surface.
- Do not roll the dough out too thin or too thick. I usually roll it out to about a 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut your cookies out and put them on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes at 350 degrees.
- **Note** do not overbake. I usually take them out of the over when the bottom of the cookies are slightly brown.
- Let cool in a single layer on wax paper.
- When they are cool, frost and decorate with colored sugars.

MOM'S CHRISTMAS COOKIES
These are traditional cookies Mom used to make for Christmas. They are a bit of work, but they were so popular that Mom used to hide them, which just meant that we would find them and eat them before she realized that we were into them.

Steps:
- Mix butter, brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon white sugar with an electric mixer until creamy. Add egg yolk and vanilla and mix until well combined. Blend in flour gradually. Cover and chill in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place remaining 2 tablespoon white sugar on a plate.
- Remove dough from the refrigerator. Shape into small balls and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Dip a glass into the sugar and press on each ball to flatten.
- Bake in the preheated oven, switching racks halfway through, until edges are golden, 7 to 9 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool, 8 to 10 minutes more.
- While the cookies are cooling, mix butter and powdered sugar until blended. Mix in milk and vanilla.
- Frost cooled cookies with frosting. Press sprinkles into the frosting while still soft.
