I think it was probably sugar cookie dough when Mom used the cookie
cutters. After they were baked she also frosted the cookies. I
remember her making butter cream frosting and buying food colouring to
tint the frosting. There were paper cut-outs to place over the frosted
cookies for adding sprinkles in shapes. That was a *long* time ago.
