Sugar Roll-Out Cookies

We started a Christmas Eve tradition a few years ago. Sugar cookie decorating party. My daughter loves to decorate cookies...what kid doesn't? We invite her cousins for a fun evening baking/decorating. I get all types of icing, sprinkles, candies, and colors and I let the kids go crazy. I even let the kids roll and pick their favorite cookie cutter shapes. I enjoy this time with my kids, nieces, and nephews every year--Can't wait to do it again!! Plus, Santa really loves his cookies!!!!

1 Homemade Gourmet® Super Sugar Cookie Mix
2 sticks butter
1 egg
powdered sugar


1. In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and
stir until well blended. Place cookie dough in an
airtight container or ziptop bag and freeze for
30 minutes or refrigerate for 1 hour.

2. Prepare counter by sprinkling with 1/8 cup
powdered sugar. Cut dough in half with large
spatula, returning other half of covered dough
to the refrigerator, place first half of dough on
top of prepared surface.

3. Lightly dust rolling pin and top of dough with
powdered sugar and roll dough to 1/4 inch
thickness. Cut with cookie cutters using all or as
much dough as possible. Bake cookies for 8 to
10 minutes (shorter time with dark pans) until
bottoms are lightly browned.

4. Cool completely, *frost and decorate if desired.
If rolling out a second time, knead dough only
long enough for it to hold together, cut and
bake as before. Do not roll dough a third time, it
will get dry and tough.

Yields: 3 dozen

Cookies can be sprinkled with granulated
or decorator’s colored sugar before baking
if you do not want to frost them.
