FROSTED TULIP COOKIES
What could be more appealing as a table decoration than fresh flowers? Blooms that are as pleasing to eat as they are to look at-like the ones right here! These edible petals grew straight out of a lemony cookie recipe shared by Margaret Miller of Middlebury, Vermont. Formed by our kitchen staff into bulbs and "planted" in quick from-a-mix cupcakes, the confections can raise smiles at Easter-or anytime at all.
