roll out and cut pillsbury sugar cookies?
i have to make cookies favors for a baby shower this weekend and don't think i will have time to make my normal from scratch cookies. Can i get a tube of pillsbury sugar cookie dough, roll, cut and bake? i bought a really cute cutter for the theme, so i want to stick with cookies.
Re: roll out and cut pillsbury sugar cookies?
I've never used the tube kind. I'd be worried it's too solid. I think they're meant to just cut and bake. But I don't know...
I've used the Pillsbury cookie packets though. They're in the baking aisle where the brownies and stuff are. You just add eggs and oil I think. They taste pretty good too.
We make the rockin' world go 'round.
I agree about the tube kind. I think the are meant to be cut from the "roll" into round cookies so I'm not sure if you would be able to actually roll them out with a rolling pin or not. I've also used the Pillsbury cookie packets and they tasted really good and were easy to roll-out and use cookie cutters with.
my plan was to let the dough soften a bit, roll, cut, put bake in the fridge for a bit and then bake.
And then post pictures of fabulous baby shower cookies!
Honestly, I think it's just as fast to whip up a dough.
I used this recipe last time - http://annies-eats.com/2010/04/02/sugar-cookies-revisited/ (for my FB friends - it was the base for the elmo cookies I made last weekend...)
I did not use lemon zest or vanilla bean - just vanilla extract.
I also did not let it sit in the fridge for 2 hours - I put the disk in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
They tasted really good, and looked nice, too. I baked for 8 minutes, and they stayed nice & soft - but were still sturdy enough for a nice, decorated cookie.
