Ghi chú

I think this is the recipe we rolled our Christmas cookies from when we were kids. We always liked to have 4 or 5 pots of frosting. Each would have it's own color and flavor. To my recollection, white was vanilla, blue was anise, yellow was lemon, red was almond, and green was peppermnint, though I'm sure it differed from year to year. -Lannie
