Sprinkle with Crystal Sugar or colored Sugar.
Bake @ 375* 8-10 minutes until lightly browned. Cool on cookie sheets, then transfer to racks.

* Crystal Sugar is a coarse Sugar used for decorating baked goods. I think using it lends a professional air to the cookies appearance.
These are VERY good, delicate cookies, however they are not good shippers. Handle with care.
