We’re super excited about the kiddo going to preschool this year, and I’ve been looking for ways to make the first day of school special. These cookies made by one of our contributors are the perfect solution! Whip up a batch of these ABC Cookies to surprise your kids on their first day of school.
Here’s the recipe, and the cookies are easier than you think. Or, you can substitute your favorite sugar cookie recipe, and then top the cookies according to the directions below.
