These cookies have been in Aimee’s husband’s family for generations. The are soft and puffy. Aimee frosts them with simple buttercream frosting and tops them with sprinkles or sanding sugar. This is the first recipe Aimee baked out of her husband’s family cookbook. She is happy to share this love-filled, passed-down family recipe with the Sweetie-licious family!
