These cute cookies are a great conversation starter on a cookie tray, and the kids love 'em! If your kitchen is warm from baking all day, chill your dough for a bit before rolling it out. -Crystal Schlueter, Northglenn, CO

Tried the Cookies and Cream Stuffed Santa Bellies this past Christmas. I got mixed reviews. Filling was good. It was cute, but cookies were hard to shape and difficult to work with.
