Who are you rooting for? Our Michigan VS. Michigan State Cookies are the perfect treat to have your guests choose.
My family waits for this football game every year. Michigan VS. Michigan State, we of course are Michigan State fans. It is one of the biggest rivalry games in the state of Michigan. You are either Michigan fans or Michigan State fans, a true fan will tell you there is no in-between.
Of course game day calls for snack and treats, so I am always in charge of that. The boys will get the game on and the pre-game turned on. Since our good friends are Michigan fans, I had to make both Michigan and Michigan State cookies. I used the same sugar cookie recipe I used for our Smart Cookies and they turned out as tasty as always.

- Divide your frosting into 4 separate containers (more in the white and blue containers as those will be your frosting base on the cookies).
