These are so very simple to make and not overly sweet but very festive looking. Kids love to help make these because they can choose between a variety of sprinkles. I love to package these up and give as gifts!

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would cut the sugar down by half next time.
