This is the same recipe I've been using for about 30 years! Kneading the dough is a "workout" - and that's part of the process. It's always been a big hit for presentation, and nobody has ever complained about the taste or texture. I used to make them with cookie cutters that were about 7" tall, decorated with Red Hots and white piped icing. The extra touch was to write names with icing, wrap in plastic wrap and red curling ribbon, and use them as "place cards" at the table.
