Recipe Introduction


Easy cookie mix jump-starts holiday cookie baking. Surprise family and friends with these sweet treasures.





List of Ingredients



• 1 pouch Betty Crocker® sugar cookie mix
  
• 1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
  
• 1 egg
  
• 2 tablespoons Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
  
• Red and green food colors
  
• 16 thin rectangular crème de menthe candies, cut into thirds
  
• Assorted Betty Crocker® colored sprinkles, sugars, decors and decorating gels
  






Instructions



1. Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, melted butter, egg and flour until soft dough forms. Divide dough into thirds. Tint one-third red and one-third green with food colors; leave one-third plain. Keep dough covered tightly until ready to use.
   
2. On floured surface, roll each third of dough until 1/8 inch thick. For round cookies, cut with 1 1/2-inch cookie cutter; for square cookies, cut into 1 1/2-inch squares using sharp knife. (Dip cutter or knife in flour for easier cutting.)
   
3. On ungreased cookie sheet, place half the cookies 1 inch apart. Place 1 candy piece on center of each cookie; top with another cookie. Gently press edges together to seal, using tines of fork. To decorate before baking, sprinkle cookies with colored sprinkles, sugars or decors as desired.
   
4. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are light brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Decorate with gels as desired.
