Cook's Tips:

To make cookies with marshmallow flowers, snip each marshmallow crosswise into 4 slices using Professional Shears. Dip a sticky side into colored sugar or nonpareils, if desired. Squeeze frosting onto cookies then add 5-6 marshmallow slices to each cookie to create flower petals; fill centers with frosting or candy pieces. Tie green ribbons around sticks to resemble leaves, if desired.

To prepare colored frosting, add a few drops of food coloring to vanilla frosting to get desired color.
