Baking Time- Spice Cutout Cookies

This is a generous recipe, you will have two good size rounds of dough to roll out.

Love to pull out the antique cookie cutters for the cookies and then use them for display for the season.

The scent of these baking is just wonderful !!!

The old trees and squirrels are my favorites.
