Mom's Christmas Cookies

This recipe has been in my family for years. I have tweaked it a bit and I think that it is better than the original recipe.

What you will need:

1 cup butter or margarine

1 1/2 cup sugar

2 eggs

3/4 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

4 1/2 cups of flour

Cream butter and sugar together.

Beat in eggs.

Slowly stir in milk.

Add cinnamon and baking soda.

Beat in flour 1/2 cup at a time. Mix until well blended.

Chill at least 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350*.

Roll cookie dough out on floured surface about 1/8th inch thick. Cut in desired shapes and bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until edges are a light golden brown.

Cool completely and then frost and decorate.

Serve and enjoy!
