SOFT WHOLE WHEAT SUGAR COOKIES

Soft Whole Wheat Sugar Cookies image

I make these cookies for Thanksgiving and Christmas as presents. Decorating them in the colors of the season makes for a nice present. If I just would stop nibbling on them, my presents would be larger :) Cookies are not real sweet, but are soft and moist and perfect for tea.
