Stack of Cookies

The antique cutter I used is in the same shape as the Girl Shout membership pin and Boy Scout emblem.

Can you tell what shape these cookies are? Hint: What group did I make them for? The answer can be found by rolling over the photo with your mouse.

I ended-up baking 30 cookies for my daughter's Girl Scout Troop. Plus I was able to save about 1/4 of the cookie dough for my daughter to re-roll and bake later.

No excuses, everyone should be able to bake cookies after following these simple instructions. Just so you know it was much easier to bake this batch of cookies than it was to take photos and write about it.
