Personal Notes:
I like to use this recipe when I want shaped cookies. I have lots of different cookie cutters ...a birthday cake, a bare foot, numbers, flowers, butterflies, Christmas & Halloween cutters, to mention a few) and also different coloured sparkling sugars (I pick the sugars up at Michael's.) Fun.
