Directions
Combine all ingredient and mix and form into dough.
Don't knead too much, very lightly.
Can chill a couple of hours or so.
Roll out on floured board to about ⅛ inch; to ¼ inch and cut out and bake on ungreased sheets.
Bake at 350℉ (180℃) F until very light brown on bottom, 6 to 8 minutes.
Can sugar the top of the dough and roll it in, or frost with cooked icing.
ICING: Combine icing ingredients, just enough light cream to make it creamy, add desired food colouring if needed, and cook to a soft ball stage.
Remove from heat and stir until it begins to thicken.
Spread quickly on cookies.
