can I buy roll-out cookie dough, or roll out 'slice and bake' dough?

[Anonymous]

Wow! Thank God I don't live in DC. You are speaking to a teacher who teaches your children and just wanted a little friendly advise on how to save time on hers or his quest to give your kids an awesome day...

Happy Holidays DC.

Seriously? The title of my post makes clear that I know you can buy slice and bake dough. But rolling and rerolling dough that has already been preformed into a log for slicing may or may not work - that was the essence of my question. Pillsbury dough might not be meant to be reworked that way because it is designed for people who are not intending to work dough! The poster who said there are instructions for rolling it, which require the addition of flour, makes clear that it is not in fact intended to be worked as is.

I'd just ignore her (their?) snotty little comments. Most of us knew what you meant. Btw, it does change the consistency some to keep rolling out the scraps to make more cookies but not enough to make a difference for your purpose.

I use a recipe for cutout cookies on the Martha Stewart website. But once I got lazy and bought the roll, rolled it out and was dissapointed with the spread (even after adding the flour) during baking. The cut cookies became these amorphous blobs, compared to the cookies I got with the dough. I realize it's just kids making a mess but I hate the store bought stuff. Just my opinion.

OP your question makes total sense, but I can see how someone who doesn't do much baking would not understand the differences between different types of dough and what can be done with them successfully.

I used the pillsbury dough once for rolling and found that it got sticky and soft and was hard to work with. It takes me about 5 minute to make sugar cookie dough so I always make my own.

INGREDIENTS
1roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated sugar cookies
1/4to 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Ready-to-spread frosting (any white variety)

ok, miss know-it-all, I usually actually cook and bake from scratch, not rely on prepackaged stuff. What I didn't know is whether you can actually roll that stuff out or whether the consistency would change from too much kneading. Go back to your cream of mushroom soup casseroles - if you knew anything about real baking you'd know that working dough not meant to be worked is actually problematic. Ask me when you have a real cooking question. Thanks to the other responders.

Who attacked whom?! You're condescending reply wasn't worth anyone's time to read. Why does her competence bother you so badly?! Showing your back-side being immature and insecure impresses no one. I don't care if you feel empowered by your actions/posts - keep that $#*! to yourself. If you can't be helpful - SHUT UP!!!

Original poster - just keep on keeping on! We can log off and be done with it - but everywhere 'they' go there 'they' are!

just saying...

Weirdo. At best.

Well, you responded so obviously haven't matured any. And wow, such a quick response. What, no life? I'm baking. What the f are you doing? Your attempt at insults and bad advice, and its a stretch for me to call it that, show your ignorance. They don't stick. She and I (and other responders) must be of that small percentage, not of the "most people" you know/spoke of. You definitely have no knowledge of real, from scratch baking and obviously rely only on the premade since you are so confidently familiar with it.
Weirdo?! I'll take it!!! It's got to be much better than any description that any of us came up for you.
If only you could take advice... I'd say worry about yourself. There is plenty to work on there.

Thanks all other responders for being helpful and knowledgeable! Really you guys did answer my question.

I've squeezed about as much fun as could be had out of this.
So to you I say, Good Day!

ahahahahahaha.....

You actually think you're responding to the poster you originally tried to insult? This is a whole new poster... sorry to burst your delusional bubble.

Like I said, weirdo.

since you are working with preschoolers just slice and bake in rounds.

It gives the kids a bigger surface area to use to decorate which is really what they care about. The shape isn't important to them.

I've actually looked for these in the past to use with a brownie troop and wasn't able to find them (other than the inedible ones sold at Michael's). Where have you seen these?

I've been looking for these for years. Where do you buy good-tasting undecorated holiday sugar cookies?

You don't! You bake them. Not that hard. I like this recipe b/c the cookies retain their shape and don't spread like the ones from the can of dough:
