My grandmother made these cookies every year for Christmas. They were always anxiously awaited and then we tried to make them last as long as we could, not an easy feat. When asked to describe them, I would say not as sweet as a sugar cookie and not as heavy as shortbread. Simply the best cut-out cookie there is. This is best made with a standing mixer. Note prep time does not include chilling overnight.
