Tips for Making ABC Cookies

Here are a few tips for making your ABC Cookies!

  1. When you are going to spread out your dough into the cookie sheet, spray a few quick bursts of cookie spray on your fingers to help the dough not stick to your hands! This is one of my favorite tips!
  2. Cut out the letter while the cookies are still fairly warm. I noticed if I let them cool too much they tend to crack a lot. Just be careful not to burn your fingers!
  3. Use your extra cookie that didn’t get cut out as a yummy topping to a bowl of ice cream! You defiantly don’t want to waste these yummy treats!
