I've got a 6 year old who wants to make Halloween cookies...I'll be helping, of course. :-)

1. Take one set of car keys, insert into ignition.

Drive to store.
Go to refrigerated aisle.
Buy Pillsbury sugar cookies, frosting, snd sprinkles.
Follow directions on tube.
Enjoy!

I know it's a copout, but I stink at baking...

Like cardboard! :puke:

8. Here's one I use.

The ideal dough for cutting out shapes can be cut and baked without losing that shape -- many sugar cookie recipes fail in that regard. I have used this recipe for years and it has always worked fine. Make sure you chill the dough as directed.

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter (not margarine) at room temp; do not microwave it to soften it!
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix flour and salt. Beat butter and sugar in a medium-size bowl until fluffy.Beat in egg and vanilla. gradually beat in flour mixture just until blended. Divide dough in half, wrap in wax paper. Chill 30 minutes or until cold enough to roll. Roll out 1/4 inch thick, cut out cookies, bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.

9. If you have a Betty Crocker cookbook

their Sugar Cookie recipe is fairly easy and tastes real good.

I also love the Marzipan Cookie recipe but that's a refrigerator cookie, not a cookie-cutter cookie.
