Directions:
Use lots of flour- will be sticky. Roll dough thin and use cookie cutters to cut out cookies. Use spatula to movie cookie onto cookie sheet. Make Egg wash (1 egg, 1 TLB water) and lightly brush on cookies. No puddles! Sprinkle sugars, decorations, sugar/cinnamon mix (whatever you want) on cookies. Bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes. Don't re-roll scraps more than 2 times or cookie will turn out tough.
*We used what seemed to be a ton of flour, and don't roll out cookie dough too thin.
