Clarification on a previously published cookie recipe

This is a repeat of a recipe published earlier, with clarification of the procedure.

This has always been my favorite Christmas cookie recipe since childhood. I love the softness and the not-too-sweet taste of this cookie.

I have fond memories of my mom turning our home into “the little cookie factory” in December, as she made and baked dozens and dozens of different kinds of wonderful Christmas cookies.
