Ingredients

Prepared cookie dough sheets

Prepared frostings

Sprinkles

Food coloring (if desired)

Preparation

1 Remove the dough sheet from the package and place on cutting board or clean flat surface.

2 Position child’s hand on the dough and trace around hand and fingers with a table knife.

3  Gently remove the cut-out cookie "hand" being careful not to tear it. If desired, you may also wish to poke a small hole near the base of the palm for hanging as an ornament on the tree with a thin ribbon. Cut the hole before baking. (You may also want to have fun creating other shapes, using cookie cutters.)

4 Place cookie hands on a cookie sheet at least an inch apart and bake according to package directions.

5 Allow to cool on a baking rack. If desired, ice the cookies using a prepared frosting, and add sprinkles.

6 Makes 10 to 16 cookie cutouts, or 4 hands plus 4 cookie cutouts.
