Christmas Cutout Butter Cookies

This is just a perfect easy tasting butter cookie, and the basic recipe you can use any time of the year.


I always make Palm Tree's for living in Florida, of course, my NY State State of mind style and the rest of the world's style trees.

Butter Cookies

This is a basic butter cookie dough that works very well for cutouts.

Our favorite during the holiday baking season.


They even taste great unfrosted!
