Instructions

Get ready for the big game by making Mom's FamousFootball Cookies!

Begin by making your own cookie cutter.

Wash and dry the can. Cut off the bottom. Then bend the rim until it is in the shape of a football.

Roll out the cookie dough and cut into football shapes with your cutter.

Place cookies on cookie sheets and bake according to the instruction on the package or your recipe.

Allow the cookies to cool.

Spoon the frosting into the plastic zip-lock bags.

Cut a small hole in one bottom corner and squeeze the frosting through the hole to decorate the cookies.

Don't forget to draw the laces on the football!

Drop one cookie accidentally on purpose on the floor for Chico Chihuahua.

Keep McAveler out of the cookie jar until the big game begins!
