Football Cookies

Chris is a HUGE football fan.

One of his favorite things to do on Thanksgiving is watch football...just like 95% of males.

So since he can't be here to watch this thanksgiving I figured I'd send him these...

Again, pardon my piping; all my tips and icing bags are still in storage so i was working by hand and with toothpicks!

 To make these I made a simple chocolate cookie.

I wanted to make a whoopie like cookie but I was afraid too much icing, and it being too hot would equal a disaster.  Meaning, it might go bad by the time it actually got to him, so I'll save those for when he actually gets home.
