Super Easy Sugar Cookies
I love sugar cookies but often don’t have the time to dedicate to making them. So, a few years ago I decided to try a new method, and here is what I’ve done. Recently I made them gluten free and dairy free and they are still delicious!! Shared on Allergy Free Wednesdays. and Gluten Free Wednesdays.
Super Easy Sugar Cookies:
1 box cake mix-vanilla(I used a dairy free/gluten free one found in the Healthmarket at Hy-Vee)
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil(I used coconut oil)
Stir everything together well. Grease a cookie sheet.
Taking a glass with a flat bottom dip into a sugar mixture(I like to use 1 cup sugar with one packet of Kool-Aid) and use the sugar coated bottom to slightly flatten the cookie ball.
The kids thought that they needed more sugar on them so we sprinkled a bit more on top.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 6-8 minutes. You can also easily make these into cookie bars by placing them into a greased cookie sheet and pressing to cover the whole sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes or until slightly golden.
I spiced up these a bit when I made them yesterday by adding some sprinkles to the dough while I was mixing. I used 1/4 cup of Rainbow Sanding Sugar from Primp my Cupcake. I received these as part of a review I’m doing and had some leftover after baking cupcakes. Stay tuned for my review of these awesome products!!
