Soft Whole Wheat Sugar Cookies

By: Victor Pierson

"I make these cookies for Thanksgiving and Christmas as presents. Decorating them in the "colors of the season" makes for a nice present. If I just would stop nibbling on them, my presents would be larger :) Cookies are not real sweet, but are soft and moist and perfect for tea."
