Cheerful New Year Cookies

Don't these cookies look so cheerful? I saw the Message in a Cookie Set at Williams Sonoma a while back and just couldn't resist. I was a bit intimidated about making the cookies but I watched the tutorial video and they looked pretty easy. I decided to test them out and made Happy New Year Star Cookies using the recipe that came with the set. It's a basic sugar cookie dough and super buttery and yummy! The recipe says to chill the dough for at least 2 hours but if you're short on time like I usually am, you can just put it in the freezer for 30 minutes. Now I'm really excited to try the other shapes and the message possibilities are endless!
