Comments: These cookies are very easy to make and good for kids to help with. Also, good for cookie swaps. The Kris Kringle Cookies are a Christmas thing in our family but they are great as an everyday treat as well, they freeze and travel well.

Ingredients: For Cookie Dough: 2 cups (1 lb./4 sticks) butter, softened 2 cups granulated sugar 2 eggs 4 cups all-purpose flour 4 tsp. cream of tartar 2 tsp. baking soda For Decoration: (use a combination of these colored sugars and sprinkles or use just one) Granulated or Powdered sugar Colored Sugar Colored Sprinkles
