Kraft Kitchens Tips

Special Extra

Decorate cookies with Jet-Puffed Miniature Marshmallows, small candies, nuts and/or sprinkles, using melted Baker's Semi-Sweet Chocolate for the glue.

Fun Idea

These cookies make great place cards at any holiday gathering. Using frosting and candies, decorate the cookies with the names of the guests. After the decorations have set, place the cookie place cards at the appropriate places on the table.
