Gingerbread Cutout Cookies

Ingredients

1 tub (36 oz.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Refrigerated Gingerbread Cookie Tub Dough
All-purpose flour
Easy Cookie Icing (recipe follows)
Decorator sprinkles, cinnamon candies, sugars (optional)

 

Directions

PREHEAT oven to 350º F. Sprinkle flour onto work surface.

ROLL dough to 1/4-inch thickness, using additional flour as needed to prevent sticking. Cut with 2 1/2-inch cookie cutters. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Repeat with trimmings.

BAKE for 7 to 8 minutes or until light golden brown around edges. (Smaller cutters and sharp edges tend to produce darker cookies.) Cool for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. Decorate as desired. Store in tightly covered container.

FOR EASY COOKIE ICING:

COMBINE 2 cups sifted powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract in small bowl. Stir in additional milk, a teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency. For colored icing, tint with food coloring. Makes about 2/3 cup.

Gingerbread Cutout Cookies

(5 stars based on 5 reviews)
These tasty Gingerbread cookies are fun to make, decorate and eat, or simply be made to add some holiday flair. To use as a tree decoration, make a hole with a drinking straw at the top of the cookie prior to baking. After baking, tie a loop of nylon fishing line or yarn through the hole for easy hanging. No matter what you choose to do, everyone will want to get involved!

    Gingerbread Galore

    Druci Diaz from Wesley Chapel, FL

    These cookies are the best. We made 40 of them for a Pre-K class and the children just loved decorating them. The idea of making a hole on top with a straw was wonderful. We tied green and red ribbon for the children so they could hang the cookies on the tree. One big problem....they can't resist eating them before they get home!!
