A new Lesiak/Rayhill Christmas Tradition is born. Grandma Rayhill’s Cookies!

These delicious and unique cut-out cookies have a way of bringing back wonderful Christmas memories for Kent. We both love traditions, so our first Christmas tradition was born. Rita was kind enough to type and email the recipe to me and also gave me some pointers for making them. It’s a bit tricky to handle the cookies, as the recipe calls for the dough to be rolled out very thinly, but chilling the dough (and keeping it chilled while you are rolling the batches) really helps keep the right texture. These crisp, but not crunchy cookies are topped off with colored sugar and rainbow ball sprinkles. The nutmeg scent develops nicely when the finished product is dunked into a glass of milk. Yay for traditions and Christmas!
