Powder-sugar Cut-out Cookies

Ｐママ、ピーチ、このクッキーはちょっと難しいですが、作り方は楽しい、食べ事はおいしいです.　　心配しないで、私たちは手伝いますよ.

We make this cookie at Christmas time and also for various events such as Valentines Day.  (make in shape of a heart). 

FIRST, together, you will make the batter, then divide it into portions and refrigerate.  Get started right away, because these cookies take a long time to make.  You will need to put the dough in the refrigerator for one hour to chill before you can roll them out.
