PILLSBURY PRINTED SUGAR COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Place cookie dough rounds about 2 inches apart on ungreased large cookie sheets.
• Bake 10 to 14 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• In each of 2 small bowls, place 2 tablespoons frosting; tint 1 bowl green and 1 bowl red by stirring in food color to desired color. In large shallow microwavable bowl, spoon remaining 1/2 cup untinted frosting in center of bottom of bowl. Spoon colored frostings on either side of untinted frosting. Microwave uncovered on High 20 to 30 seconds or until warmed and thinner glaze consistency. (Do not mix colors together.)
• Dip top side of each cookie into glaze, letting excess drip off. Place cookie right side up on cooling rack placed over cookie sheet or waxed paper. Rewarm frosting mixture in microwave to maintain dipping consistency, if needed while dipping cookies. Let stand about 2 hours or until set.
• Store covered in airtight container at room temperature with waxed paper between layers.

Steps:

• Divide cookie dough in half. In medium bowl, place half of the cookie dough. Crumble cookie dough; stir or knead in flour until well mixed. (DO NOT EAT RAW COOKIE DOUGH AFTER COMBINING WITH FLOUR.) In another medium bowl, place remaining half of cookie dough. Crumble cookie dough; stir or knead in cocoa until well mixed.
• Divide each of the doughs in half. Take one half of each of the sugar and cocoa cookie doughs, and press together into a ball. Gently knead to mix doughs (don’t overwork dough or it will lose marbling). Press combined doughs back into a ball.
• Shape into a roll, 6 inches long by 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap dough log tightly with plastic wrap. Repeat forming, shaping and rolling with remaining dough pieces. Refrigerate about 1 hour 30 minutes or until firm.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Unwrap 1 of the dough logs; cut into 1/2-inch slices. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet, reshaping if necessary.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Unwrap remaining dough log, and repeat slicing and baking. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Store covered in airtight container.
