This year the first day of school is a huge one in our house. I have one son starting his last year of school, and another starting his first year.

These back to school cookies are really easy to make. Made with a simple basic roll-out sugar cookie dough, you can make them while the kids are at school for a nice back to school surprise.

The great thing about this dough is that it doesn’t need to be refrigerated beforehand so you could even make them at the last minute.

I found this apple-shaped cookie cutter at my local craft store along with some red and green frosting. You could certainly make frosting from scratch if you’d like or even use sprinkles. The possibilities are almost endless with these cookies.
