A good holiday cookie. I use mint for Christmas, cinnamon for fall, lemon for spring, and so on,slightly addictive, if you make a set make two best in stand mixers, but can be done with hand mixers.

    Next use a plastic ziplock bag to pipe the mix onto a a parchment lined pan

  9. 9

    I use a sealed ziplock bad while I pipe to prevent the mix from escaping at the top

    Use a cup with the bag draped over the sides to add the mixture to the bad with less mess

    Use a circular wrist motion to make the peaks

    With the extra mixture make the smaller cookies as pictured above

    Pull the cookies out and allow to cool and enjoy
