Jack-o-Lantern Cookies

     When there is not enough time to make cut-out cookies, an easy solution is usually at hand. Drop cookies with an orange glaze and a few mini chocolate chips produce passable jack-o-lanterns. Last year I made larger cookies and used candy corn for the faces but this year we have two new families with children in the neighborhood, so in order to have enough to share, I made smaller versions. Rissy said they look more like smiley faces, but that's okay. The recipients were thrilled and now I have some splendid preschool artwork to hang on the refrigerator and which gives me a smiley face every time I see it.
