PILLSBURY PICTURE COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray. Unroll dough on work surface. Press into 12x9-inch rectangle. If using crescent roll dough, firmly press perforations to seal. With pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut into 8 rows by 4 rows to make 32 squares.
• Cut Parmesan in 3 equally-sized pieces. Reserve 1 piece for grating. Cut remaining 2 pieces in 16 cubes each. Top each piece of crescent dough with 1 of the cubes of cheese, then roll dough into small ball around cheese; place seam side down on cookie sheet.
• Place 10 balls in a single layer, clustered and touching together to form a round disk shape. Continue with a formation of 8 balls, then 6 balls, then 4 balls, 3 balls and finally a single ball. There will be a total of 6 disks (including the single ball), which will form the layers of the tree after baking.
• Bake 14 to 17 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on cookie sheet 2 minutes. Meanwhile, finely grate remaining piece of cheese.
• Use large, flat spatula to transfer largest disk to serving platter or cake plate. Brush with pesto, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the remaining Parmesan cheese, then top with next largest disk. Brush with pesto and sprinkle with 1 more tablespoon Parmesan cheese. Continue with remaining disks, ending with single ball. Brush any remaining pesto over tree. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over tree. Serve with additional pesto, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of the pumpkin pie spice.
• Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Separate each biscuit into 2 layers, making total of 16 biscuit rounds. Brush one side of each biscuit round with melted butter. Spread slightly less than 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie mix on top of each. Sprinkle rounds with spice-sugar mixture.
• Stack biscuits in 4 piles of 4 biscuits each. Place stacks on their sides in a row in loaf pan, making sure sides without filling are on both ends touching pan.
• Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until loaf is deep golden brown and center is baked through.
• Cool 10 minutes. Turn pan upside down on serving platter. In small bowl, mix powdered sugar, milk, vanilla and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice until thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over warm loaf. Serve warm.
