12/23/2011 06:42:45 PM Report AbuseGreat cookies! I was looking for a recipe that did not contain eggs for my son's preschool class (due to a child's allergy). I was afraid they would taste bland, but the addition of the frosting and sprinkles gave these cookies the sweet taste I was looking for. Thanks a bunch BHG!
