We had an extra day off from school due to staff development and my daughter was making a list of fun things to do. Her list always includes crafts and baking. I tried to be one step ahead of her and bought all the ingredients for these simple and fun acorn cookies.
We only needed four items and a little time. The listed included Nutter Butter Cookies, Jimmies chocolate sprinkles, chocolate almond bark and the optional pretzel stem.
