We did a little experimenting in the CCHQ kitchen this week!
For everyone who is rushing around this holiday season, we have a minimal spread quick sugar cookie hack for you!
We are all looking for extra time during the holidays to “get it ALL done”. This hack is perfect for whipping up a super-quick batch of ready-to-decorate sugar cookies to practice on, for a last-minute cookie swap, or for decorating with the kiddos.
We found Pillsbury “Ready to Bake” Sugar Cookie Dough (comes in pull-apart squares)was thebest for this recipe.
Tutorial:
Let one package of the “Ready to Bake, Tear & Bake” Sugar Cookie dough come to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place the sugar cookie dough in the mixing bowl usingthe paddle attachment.
Add ¾ cup of all-purpose flour in with the cookie dough.
Mix until incorporated. The mixture will be a bit “crummy”.
Roll out the dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper. (I used the ¼” Cookie Countess precision rolling pin).
The dough does not to be chilled before baking.
Cut your shapes & bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-13 minutes.
As soon as your cookies are baked, you can use a fondant smoother to make the cookie less “puffy”.
Let cook & then you’re ready to decorate.
Notes:
You can double or triple this recipe.
Wedidn't feel that the addition of the flour dried out the cookie at all, they were tasty and still had a soft bite.
From everyone here at CCHQ, have a happy and magical holiday season!

Don't Turn Your Oven On Until You Have a Signed Contract: The Importance of Having a Signed Contract Before Baking Cookies for Customers
In the world of cookie businesses, having a signed contract before starting any baking is crucial. This article emphasizes the importance of setting clear terms with customers to avoid potential issues such as last-minute order changes or cancellations.
