Notes And Variations

• For older kids, melted white chocolate can be used instead of frosting.
• Instead of frosting, you can melt 2 cups white chocolate chips or vanilla candy bark with 1 tablespoon shortening. An adult should handle melting to avoid burns. Let coated cookies cool fully before adding stitches.
• Store cookies in a single layer to keep the design neat.
