Grandma's Christmas Cookie Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Grandma's Christmas Cookie Recipe). My Grandmother used to make these for my mother and me for years. We took it for granted that she would always be here to do so. My mother and I played with the ingredients until we think we have duplicated Grandma's recipe. The light coating of powdered sugar makes these stand out from the other cookies in the tin.
