Notes

This recipe can easily be doubled.
Decorating frosting can be made with confectioner’s sugar, a bit of soft butter, a shot of vanilla, and milk to desired consistency. There is no real recipe. – Paula
You can separate the frosting into bowls and add a few drops of food coloring to decorate the cookies with.
