These cookies hold well and will stay soft for a few days. I would suggest making them the day before and after they cool put them in a zip lock bag to hold at room temp. Frost them the night before or the morning you are going to serve them- bet the kids could do for you.

I have to make multiple batches of these for Christmas every year as they are a family favorite, my husband in particular raves on them. So simple too, which I love. :)
