Instructions

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Remove all 24 cookies from the 1 (24-count) package Pillsbury Bake and Break sugar cookies. From the two (20-count each) packages of Pillsbury Shaped Sugar Cookies, set aside 24 shaped cookies to use as the tops (reserve the remaining 16 shaped cookies for another use).
  • Break apart each Bake and Break cookie piece as needed and roll each into a ball.
  • Pour the ½ cup colorful sanding sugar or nonpareils into a shallow bowl or plate and roll each cookie ball in the sugar/nonpareils to coat.
  • Place the coated cookie balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Press each ball lightly with the palm of your hand to flatten slightly.
  • Center one shaped sugar cookie on top of each flattened ball, gently pressing so the pieces adhere.
  • Bake in the preheated 350°F oven for 10–12 minutes, or until cookies are light golden brown and no longer glossy.
  • Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for several months.

Notes

Use any kind of refrigerated cookie dough – you’re not limited to sugar cookies.
Use any of the shapes (for any holiday)
Use any color sugar/nonpareils
If you want to use a log of cookie dough cut and roll 1 tablespoon balls
1 pack of bake and break makes 24 cookies and 1 pack of the shaped makes 20. So you either need 2 shaped cookies or you’ll have 4 sugar cookies left over.
