Notes
My trick for PERFECT edges: Cut out on parchment paper, peel away excess dough, then move the entire sheet of parchment paper onto the cookie sheet (plus it makes clean up so much easier).
Personally I always use my delicious fool proof royal icing to decorate them, and the flavors in the icing compliment the cookies perfectly! These cookies taste great and keep for a LONG time!
