DIRECTIONS

1.Freeze cookie dough roll for 20 minutes.

6.To decorate, spread pink frosting over each cookie in a half circle, leaving a border on curved side for green frosting. While frosting is wet, sprinkle with Toppers to make seeds, pressing Toppers slightly to adhere. Pipe green icing on rounded edge of pink icing. Allow cookies to set. Store cookies in tightly covered container.

TIP
To pipe green frosting, place frosting in pastry bag or small, plastic food storage bag. Cut a small corner from bag.
