Pillsbury asked a group of bloggers to turn a favorite cookie recipe into one that uses Pillsbury Sugar Cookie Dough. It took me of about 2 seconds to decide what I wanted to make. I love going to the grocery store and buying the sugar cookies with the thick, colored frosting on top, you know which brand I am talking about. I try to not buy them because I have a really hard time resisting them.
