About Jen
So, I’m not a baker but, i was recently asked to bake around 5 dozen Bison shaped sugar cookies for a community event and couldn’t say no. They supplied me with a cookie cutter. After an extremely long weekend, I thought I would get away with using store bought cookie dough. I rolled the “tube” of dough out, cut the cookies, and put them in the oven and they came out looking nothing like bison…I’m praying this recipe saves me some embarrassment. Do you know approximately how may this recipe will make?
I do, too, Tiffany! Let me know how it works out for you! Nothing worse than failed cookies for an event! Good luck!
Beautiful photo… they look amazing!! Can I eat them all??? Pinned
That’s the hard part of having a food blog…I want to eat everything! It’s starting to catch up to me! Thanks for stopping by.
I hope this is THE definitive roll-out sugar cookie recipe that I’ve been looking for. :)
Me too! It works for me and I hope it works for you, too! Thank you for your comments! I love them.
