BERRY-GLAZED Cookie bites...

SOFT SUGAR COOKIES
WITH FRESH STRAWBERRY (OR BLUEBERRY)
GLAZE


SOFT SUGAR COOKIES
These cookies look about as cute as an Easter bunny rolled over in glitter while holding sparklers. These little guys look delicious and with a berry glaze are sure to pack a two fisted punch with sweet sugar cookie + berrylicious glaze. As you eat these Lady Gaga's of the cookie world you can savor each bite (raw meat not required).

A Bad Romance... of FLAVOR.
