Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart onto cookie sheets.
Bake for 8 minutes at 375 degrees. Allow cookies to
cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing
to a wire rack.
Cool completely before
decorating. Use white frosting with a fine tip to
outline figures. Use yellow frosting to make hair on
female figures (or use a different color if you're
not into blondes). Add eyes and mouths with fine tip
black and red decorator gel or icing. Use a small
dab of white frosting to attach cinnamon buttons if
desired.
Tastes good. And remember, yeast is cheaper than
iagra.
