   Second place went to Nancy Rullo, of Bloomingdale, for her recipe for
  Mom's sugar cookies in the shape of Santa Claus faces, iced with a
  cream cheese frosting and decorated in traditional holiday colors.
  The recipe, Rullo wrote, was one that her mother had found in her
  mother's first cookbook. As children, Rullo and her brother would
  help cut out the Santa Claus shapes and watch them bake. from the
  Chicago Tribune third annual Food Guide Holiday Cookie Contest
