The folks at Pillsbury recently asked me and a few other bloggers to come up with new holiday cookie recipes. The requirements were straight-forward. Must use one of a handful of Pillsbury products. And must be three steps or less.
I knew exactly what I was going to do.
Let me be completely transparent. Any time I have an excuse to use buttercream frosting, I will.
And ESPECIALLY if I can smush it between two sugar cookies.
I mean, really.
As if we need a reason for EXTRA buttercream.
Am I right? Or am I right?
The sugar cookie dough that Pillsbury makes is great when you need to cut some corners. Or time. Or both. And honestly, with the holiday season nearly swooping in for the kill, who doesn’t need to save a few extra minutes?
And with those extra minutes? I cut the cookies into fancy star shapes, and dressed them up even further with a little bit of sanding sugar on top.
You know, to make ’em sparkle.
Because if the holidays aren’t an excuse to sparkle a little extra, I don’t know what is.
