Get in the holiday spirit on the 14th day of cookies with these miniature sweets cut into Christmas shapes of your choosing. They were modeled after those pink-and-white-icing- and sprinkle-covered cookies you might remember from your childhood — hence the "circus" moniker. These frosted treats are bedecked in more holiday-appropriate colors and taste just like their inspiration.
