Thank you SO much for posting this recipe. We've made these wonderful cookies for close to 40 years in our family. Unfortunately the booklet with this recipe got a huge chunk torn out of it and the missing part just happened to be where the Christmas tree recipe was. When I got out my press to make the cookies today.......there was no recipe to follow. So I took a chance and looked on the internet for it and low and behold I found it. I'm so glad I'll be able to share these cookies with our families again this year. Thank you and Merry Christmas!!!
