Cherry Blossom Scented Icebox Cookies
I based this off a friend's recipe for plain shortbread cookies.
Change the shape and size of the dough to your liking at Step 7.
Adjust the baking time if necessary, depending on your oven.
I used the pink sanding sugar because of the cherry blossom version, but the white sugar would be nice too. Recipe by MeguBroaden
