DON'T freeze cookies iced with Butter Cream Icing -- the icing will
separate and look nasty! If you need to make cookies ahead of time,
freeze the uniced cookies then ice them a day before or the day they'll be eaten.
Also, disposable pastry bags are the best when using buttercream -- just pitch
them when you're done!
