Kitchen Princess is a manga by Natsumi Ando and Miyuki Kobayashi in which every chapter is named after a dish. This is our own quick, family-friendly version of that dish, not the recipe from the book.
Homemade cut-out cookies are a lovely project for a slow weekend. On a busy December weeknight, slice-and-bake dough gets you straight to the best part: decorating.
Make it a learning moment: cookies spread in the oven because the butter melts. Leave enough space between them and see how much bigger they get.
