Chef Jenn's Tips
- These cookies will spread a bit so don't over-crowd the baking sheet.
- You can make the cookies, and even tint the icing, the day (or a few hours) before you want to serve them.
- Use lively spring colors like pink, green, lavender, and yellow. Or, just use your favorite colors.
- Unless you're using royal icing, the icing won't harden so don't squish or stack the cookies when they're decorated.
