  6. Sprinkle red and white candies or sprinkles on top before baking.
Baking

  2. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 5 minutes.
