The jingle of sleigh bells breaks the silence of a quiet Christmas Eve. A crash is heard at the base of the chimney and, through a puff of soot, out walks jolly old St. Nick. He looks to the tree and sees it strung with an impressive popcorn garland. Pleased, he moves toward the Christmas tree, but something is amiss.

Sugar cookies aren\u2019t just for Santa anymore. Not only are they fun to decorate, but they can be cut into pretty much any shape imaginable. Frost a spooky jack-o\u2019-lantern at Halloween or a bunny at Easter, pick up a dinosaur cookie cutter for nibbles during the class trip to the museum, or spread on some delightful bubble-gum-pink buttercream with sprinkles for a little retro birthday fun. They\u2019re the all-purpose special occasion cookie, and when it comes to decorating, you won\u2019t have any trouble recruiting your family and friends to get the job done.
