Frosted Watermleon " Cookies "-A --Tasty --- Discovery

Submitted by COOKGIRl

"--Tasty-- loves watermelon! From a favorite site: watermelonboard.org. You can "frost" the cookies with drained plain yogurt, flavored yogurt, or stir crushed pineapple into cream cheese and add a drop or two of almond extract! Use any shape of cookie cutter (mini cookie cutters work really well!) and theme it according to the occasion! Other melon can be substituted: cantaloupe, honeydew, etc. After testing this recipe, --Tasty-- and I thought that garnishing the top of the watermelon slices with currants would look like watermelon seeds! Isn't that funny?! We also have plans to try this cookie recipe using locally grown seedless yellow watermelon once it is available!"
