ive just purchased parchment paper for the very first time due to reading so many mommy blogs and baking blogs now …so many things you can do with parchment paper…
the idea of using stencils under it and piping it over it..ive not read yet..thank you for the tip..im sure it would work with other patterns one can find online…
would be cool to figure out a way to do a mandala that way in candy..and sell them!!!
I would be a fool for not trying this recipe, these cookies look superb!

These sound so delicious, but I am a 64 year old bachelor who can’t invest the time it takes to make this delicacy
Each year we have a village cake sale just before Christmas to raise funds for a chosen charity. These will be perfect!
