Personal Notes:
These cookies are a must-have at any family holiday event! Make sure to set up a "Decoration Station" if you're using sprinkles, the art of cookie decorating is serious (and messy) business. CAUTION: If Uncle Bill is in vicinity you may want to take extra precautions to safely store your cookies until it is officially time to bring them out. ENJOY!
