**a few tips** make sure your butter is softened. If you have a kitchenaid mixer use it and it will make your life a lot easier when making these cookies. if you don't no worries, i made them for years without one, it will give your arms a workout. Make sure you put down a lot of flour on the counter or table where you will be rolling out your cookies as well as on the rolling pin and cookie cutters.
