ANY HOLIDAY SPRINKLE COOKIES

Any Holiday Sprinkle Cookies image

You can roll this cookie dough in any colored sugar to suit any holiday. I use red and green for Christmas, pastel colors for Easter and green for St. Patrick's Day. After rolling dough in sugar, the logs can be frozen for up to 2 months. Let logs thaw out slightly before slicing. They're easier to slice if very firm.-Lynn Merendino, Marysville, Pennsylvania
