Notes:
These cookies are a lot of fun to make, and the variations are endless.
Some
favorite decorations include pastel chocolate coated candies, jelly
beans,
gummy bunnies, sprinkles, edible glitter, and gum drops.
Do
not bake the two sizes of cookies on the same cookie sheet for the same
amount of time because the smaller cookies will burn, or else the larger
cookies will not cook through.
