I've been using this recipe ever since I was a little girl. I like it because it's easier than making cutout cookies. You can easily mix-and-match your favorite ingredients to create different looks. -Patricia Reese, Pewaukee, Wisconsin

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover frosting. I always have extra frosting after I make cakes or cupcakes, and these cookies are the perfect way to use it up.
