My daughter-in-law made these cookies as gifts for Christmas to all our families. The cookies were a great success and everyone was stashing away a little of the treasures for themselves. She gladly told me where she found the receipe and here I am sending the receipe to all the cookie lovers.

So easy to make!! I made these this morning with my two and a half year old. She loved rolling out the little balls. No eggs so it was safe for her to eat the dough which she liked. Very yummy. (I've eaten 5) I didn't get 4 1/2 dozen out of it. I got about 43. Which is more then enough. They are a slightly drier cookie, think more shortbread then sugar cookie. Powdered sugar does make a mess with little kids when eating them, but the nice thing powdered sugar doesn't stain and it's much easier to clean up then frosting. Love this! It's going to become a family favorite I can tell
