Holiday Cookies
Small bites with too much sugar
Pies are the real prize

Ok, I'm not really believing these were rolled to 1/2 inch thick, by looking at the picture. I rolled the dough, after being chilled to 1/2 inch and mine didn't spread at all.

i'm glad to hear your cookies didn't spread!

Hmmm, I'm not. They don't look anything like the picture and are way too thick..?

@Lakeesha that's your assignment. Please send the final work to me. :)

Am I the only one expecting the haikus to be literally written on the cookies? Just me? Ok...

What would make this post better is a link to the cookies shown in the article.
