We fell in love with these bright cupcake cookies.  They would be perfect for any party or holiday because you can color them to whatever fits your party theme.  And besides being such fun colors, they are filled with delicious frosting that has marshmallow creme.  Your families and friends will love these.  So easy and a great way to involve your kids.  You can use the leftover cupcake bottoms to make our Cake Balls.
