This shortcut recipe has been a HUGE hit. The most celebrated item I have made to date. Since they are NOT homemade - I will share the tricks if only to cut down on the amount I have to make in the future.
ingredients:
2 packs of sugar cookie mix
2 eggs
2 sticks butter
cooking spray
red food coloring
2 cups all purpose flour
You will need two packs of sugar cookies.
Make 2 separate batches in two separate bowls
according to instructions on package
(needed 2 eggs and 2 sticks butter)
* margarine can be used but with everything - butter is better.
In ONE bowl add 3 tablespoons of red food coloring, mix
add 1 cup of flour to EACH bowl and mix each creating a ball of dough
Unroll each ball on a sheet of foil sprayed with cooking oil
