I made these cookies for two reasons. I made them because it was Memorial day and I also made them because I was meeting some of my boyfriends family for the first time (his cousin and his cousin's son). I love the sticker that I put on the top of the plastic wrap. It says Baked With Love by Colleen With Love For _____. Then you fill in who the baked goods are for. It's things like this sticker (or a bow, ribbon, etc) that make these cookies (and other baked goods) stick out from the rest. It adds a personal and decorative touch that anyone could appreciate.
I made peanut butter cookies, chocolate chocolate chip cookies and sugar cookies. I rolled out the sugar cookie dough and cut them into stars with a cookie cutter. Before they went into the oven to bake, I put green sugar on top. Tip: By putting the decorative sugar on the dough when raw, by the time it is fully cooked, the sugar will stay on the cookie and not fall off. You will be able to tell when sugar cookies are done when they are slightly golden brown on the sides (and bottoms) of the cookies.
These cookies did not last too many days in that household. They were a big hit and perfect for the occasion!
