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.

Let’s be honest, sometimes a cookie is a vehicle for frosting. This recipe will make cookie and frosting lovers alike, very, very, happy. I have yet to meet anyone that can resist a soft sugar cookie with a thick layer of almond-scented frosting. These cookies take sugar cookies to a whole new level and are so easy to make, a no-stress holiday cookie.
