Heat oven to 375°F. Line 2 baking sheets with foil.

You can bake the cookies the day before the fun begins! Store cookies covered with plastic wrap or foil.

Stir some chopped nuts into the dough for an indulgent treat.
Try a variety of sugared gumdrops, candy-coated sunflower nuts and cinnamon candies for fun designs and colours.
