Notes
Note: It all depends on the size and shape of your cookie cutter as to the number of cookies this recipe makes. We made approximately 22 cookies. If you want to double up on a cookie like we did, just dab a bit of icing on the top of your cookie and seal it with another smaller cookie. The icing will harden and glue the two cookies together.
