Cooking Instructions

1. LINE 2 cookie sheets with Reynolds Parchment Paper; set aside. 
2. PREPARE your favorite recipe for sugar cookies.  Halve dough and tint with food colors.
3. PREHEAT oven following recipe.  Roll out dough 1/8-inch thick between 2 lightly floured parchment paper sheets.
4. CUT OUT 48 cookies with a mitten cookie cutter.  Place 12 cookies 1-inch apart on parchment-lined cookie sheets.  Use mini cookie cutters to cut out decorations.
5. MELT mint baking chips in a microwave-safe bowl.  Spread melted mint chips over cookies on the cookie sheets.  Top each with another cookie cut-out.  Place mini decorations on cookies.  (To hold decorations in place, brush underside with egg whites beaten with a little water.)  Repeat with remaining cut-out cookies.
6. BAKE 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.  Remove from oven; immediately make a small hole in each Mintten with a straw.  Slide parchment with cookies onto a wire rack to cool.  Tie two cookies together with ribbon to make a set.
