Posted October 16, 2016 by Jennifer Rating I ice the cookies with white icing & after it sets up, I make green icing & design a Christmas tree on top of the white icing and then use miniature M& M's as ornaments. They are so cute & adorable!!! Posted December 15, 2013 by Patricia Rating Glad you had this recipe posted - I lost my copy. Over 34 years ago, I ordered a set of cookie cutters from Land O Lakes. It came with this recipe and I have used it ever since. Excellent! Posted December 23, 2011 by Hattie Rating Most good things take a long time. These were great.
