BAKING UP SOME FALL ..FUN WITH COOKIES

BAKING UP SOME FALL FUN COOKIES............

I enjoy baking these simple cookies ........and you may put them away in your freezer for Thanksgiving or to use for the Fall season.......
A simple cut out can be purchased even at the dollar store...........
You can use your imagination to use in so many ways...........a small basket filled with these little brown wonders; adding icing and any color such as orange or yellow; a few cookies in a baggie
just for someone who stops by to take on there way.............


Simple Shortbread Cut Outs............
