Preparation

Step 1

Mix all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Divide and color as desired, mixing the gel coloring in by hand. There is no need to chill the dough.

Roll out on parchment paper using no flour. This way you can roll and re-roll and the dough stays the same. The parchment will get a little greasy so change it as needed. Simply lift the parchment paper to help you peel off the cut out cookie dough and transfer it to a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper. I love this dough because it is so easy to work with and holds its shape so well. We love the flavor too.

Bake at 350°F for 7 minutes. It should just look dry on the top. You don't want the bottoms brown.

Let cool. Then frost. I piped the frosting on, starting with the outside edge and filling in to give it a smooth finished look on the outside. Top it with another cookie.

Store in a covered container.

I used two cake mixes and split the finished dough into 5 bowls and colored each one separately with gel food coloring.
