Hi, I'd like to see a video on how you made the ornaments.
Another cool thing you can do to these cookies is to make them like stained glass by breaking up life saver candies and puting the peices in the cutouts. The candy melts and makes the cookies look just like stained glass.
I want to know if you can use this dough in a cookie press.
The best dough to use in a cookie press is a spritz cookie dough. We have a recipe here:
