Use a mixer to combine everything except the flour. Mix just until everything is combined and you have a nice sticky dough.
Use hands to fold in a cup of the flour.
Slowly add more flour, a half a cup at a time, until you have a soft dough. Don't add in too much flour but reserve the remaining flour.
Optionally, add in food coloring to the dough. We used red and green when I was a child. I don't usually add it these days.
Wrap dough in Saran Wrap and refrigerate about an hour.
Flour a surface and integrate more flour into dough if needed (but not too much). Roll dough out with a rolling pin very thinly - 1/4 or LESS..
Cut into happy shapes with metal cookie cutters (glass and plastic ones stick too much). Top with sprinkles and don't try to make them perfect.
Bake in preheated 375 degree oven until edges are brown.
