Ingredients
  

  • 24 sugar cookies

  • Use a pastry bag and a star tip to create a grassy nest on top of the cookies. I think a leaf tip would work fine for this too. If you don’t have any decorator tips, just swirl some on with the back of a spoon. This might be easier if you have little ones helping you.
