These are fabulous sugar cookies, great plain, just rolled in sugar, but adding some colorful Mike and Ike candies really takes them up a notch. The dough can be made ahead of time and frozen or bake the cookies and freeze them.

Also, I have been to Israel several times now and our friends reside in Haifa. Have been all over the country there and love it!
