*Notes for Making Ladybug Cookies:

You could also make or use ready made sugar cookie dough if you wanted to make ladybug sugar cookies.

Instead of making small dots or small circles with the black icing, you could make little heart patterns on the body of each ladybug.

No cookie cutters are needed, but if you wanted perfect circles then you could use cookie cutter shapes.
