These Angel’s Wings Butter Cookies are good for the soul.   My angel’s wings cookie cutter came with this fabulous recipe for butter cookies.  I flavored my cookies with lemon extract, adding a refreshing flavor to this recipe.  You can also use orange or mint extract.    Used by permission from CopperGifts.com.
