Chanukah star cookies

For a no-meat Chanukah meal, I make tuna salad molded in a fish mold, decorated with thin rounds of cucumber for scales and an olive eye, a green salad, potato pancakes, and Star Cookies.

Both kids and adults enjoy decorating the cookies for dessert. I have different sprinkles, candies, and white and blue frostings in piping bags for people to make their own designs. (I also use this recipe to make the base for Hamantaschen at Purim.)

Makes 15-5" large stars, 30-3" small stars.

1 cup butter (2 sticks), room temperature

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

1 egg

2 3/4 scant cup...
