Got roped into a cookie decorating playdate and I don't have time to make from-scratch sugar cookies. Does anyone have a tried and true mix that is good for rolling out and cutting out cookies? This is for a 5 year old activity so it doesn't need to be very good  Thanks in advance!

| If you're really pressed for time, you can roll out slice and bake cookies (or just give them baked circles to decorate) |

| Just get the kind from the refrigerated section. 5 year olds are not very discerning, and this will save you SO much time. |

| mixing the ingredients is the fastest part! if you want to roll and cut them, that's the part that takes the longest. you can mix flour, sugar, butter, eggs, salt, and vanilla together in a stand mixer in like 45 seconds. |

It's not hard to make your own butter, either, but that's not the assignment |

I love it when people think the rest of us nend to be told the ingredients of something we're all familiar with (the best was a blogger telling the story of a kid who got motion sick and a commenter feeling the need to say what went into the dish that had come out of him -- pretty sure she knew) |

Just get the pillsbury pre-made. The boxed kind is too soft and doesn't keep its shape. OR you can add extra flour to make the dough more stiff and refrigerate/freeze the cut out cookies before baking. |

| Wegman's has already baked but not decorated sugar cookies in the bakery. That's what I would do. |

| I agree with above poster. I use the Betty Crocker mix. |

I would never feed my kids something like Betty Crocker cookie mix. Disgusting.
It's so easy and cheap to just use real organic flour, butter, sugar and vanilla. Not to mention, 100x healthier. |
