We made a double batch for my granddaughter’s birthday party. All the kids got to decorate their own before the cookie sheet went into the oven. Turned out great!

Great idea! I am going to make these cookies with my daughter and her friends for a playdate tea party.

Good sugar cookie. Easy for kids to make. I did it with the nieces and nephews. They had a blast and got to decorate them with all kinds of sprinkles and goodies.

Great cookie recipe. Very simple. I dropped them into a pile of decorative sugar crystals before transferring to cookie sheets. You can get the crystals in all different colors if you want to brighten them up.
