Easter Cookies

Here are a few of the Easter Cookies that we made. They are a peanut butter sugar cookie recipe, with frosting. I made up 5 frosting bags, and let the kids each decorate 2 cookies. Most just licked the frosting off, but a couple of the kids put their cookies together and ate them as a sandwich! Silly kids.These are the cookies that we're giving to the boys' teachers tomorrow. Mrs LeGrand, Mrs. McReynolds, Mrs. Kump, and Tom's other teacher. Aren't they pretty cookies!
