Ooo! Ooo! I have a fun way to use star cut out cookies! We bought a set of graduated sized star cutters a few years ago (I think from KA?) anyway my little ones discovered you could stack the stars and make a tree! Put the largest star on the bottom and stack them up largest to smallest with icing glue then spoon, blob, drizzle, etc. more icing over the finished stack to look like snow/icicles and toss some colored sugar or sprinkles on for ornaments. If you use two of each size stacked so the spokes alternate you can get an even taller cookie tree. I'm with you, I don't like doing cut-out cookies but I don't mind letting the kids do it for me! :) Oh, yeah - forgot about that! Great idea, Lee. Great two ideas: 1) Make star trees, and 2) Don't make star trees - let the KIDS make star trees. I'm with you- PJH
