Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a tray, then move to a freezer bag. Thaw at room temperature before serving. To ensure decorations stick better, let cookies cool fully before adding frosting. Use a small amount of frosting as glue; too much will run.
