Does anyone know a really easy cut out cookie recipie?

Question

All my recipies seem to fail and i wanted to make a cut out sugar cookie that is easy and wont get to dry or hard.

Answer 1

Get the Pilsbury dough in a tube, roll it out, and cut. That way, if they don't turn out well, you didn't spend a lot of time on them.

Answer 2

I have one though I never try it out but it looks quite simple I got it in a website.

Ingredients
1/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup shortening
1 egg
2/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon lemon extreact
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teasepoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets.
2. Mix sugar,shortening,egg,honey,and lemon extract
3. Stir in remaining ingredients and mix well.
4. Roll dough 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut into desierd shapes. Place 1 inch apart on lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until no indentation remains when touched. Cool and decorate.


There you go! Simple Sugar Cookies!

Answer 3

This is taking the easy way out but...Pillsbury now sells sugar cookie dough and ginger bread dough already made and rolled into sheets. All you do is cut, bake, and decorate.

I saw it in Waldbaums supermarket the other day. I love it because I like to decorate cookies, but I don't really like making and rolling out the dough.

Good luck!

Answer 5

You need to roll out the dough alittle thicker and dont bake long. Only until the bottoms are slightly browned. After you decorate, put into an airtight container. If your looking for a new recipe, go to christmas cookies.com. They have alot of them.
