Made for my grandson wedding: First time I made. Very easy. Would like to know if I can freeze? The wedding is in 2 weeks.
Thanks Bonnie! These will freeze best as dough balls or already baked without the icing.
These are amazing ! They taste great. Thanks so much.
Thank you Coleen!
I just made this recipe for Easter. These cookies came out great! I was looking for a recipe with butter instead of Crisco, which I usually make. I will definitely make them again. Also, very easy to put together. TY
Thanks Lisa!
