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

[Anonymous]

I'm planning to decorate cookies with some preschoolers. I'd like to cut them into holiday shapes, but since they're going to get gunked up with decorations dont feel the need to mix my own dough. Can I buy dough that can be rolled out and cut? Thanks!

Yes, but you won't fool anyone.

Yes, you can roll the slice and bake dough and cut it with cookie cutters.

I slaved making several different kinds of christmas cookies last year -- including ones with fillings and all kinds of complex stuff.

By the time I got to the frosted sugar cookies i was over it. So I cheated and use the Pillsbury stuff.

Everyone raved... about the Pillsbury cookies.

You can buy undecorated cookies in holiday shapes. The preschoolers will never know the difference.

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.

one thing i learned is that you dont want to bake a large cookie out of all the cookie batter or else it wont cook properly. Another thing is to avoid eating it raw like this moron http://news.injuryboard.com/deadly-e-coli-cookie-dough-has-woman-near-death.aspx?googleid=270140

Most people born, raised or live in this country know about store bought cookie dough. You just wanted everyone to think you were so perfect that you never even contemplated such a notion. And your comment above proves it. Why on earth would pillsbury dough not be meant to be worked?

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?

The Pillsbury dough tube actually has separate directions for rolling the dough -- I think you add some flour to make it workable. Not the greatest tasting but once the kids top it with frosting, no one will be able to tell the difference or care for that matter!

1605 you are funny. I have a vision of the op putting the whole log in the oven to cook and it's making me laugh.

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.

OP I totally agree that your question is normal. I didn't think you could roll it out, either. Good to know.

If you do decide to make your own, this recipe is very good & makes a ton of cookies http://allrecipes.com/recipe/the-best-rolled-sugar-cookies/detail.aspx

You are hilarious, the other poster is just sour grapes because her idea of a nice appetizer is grape jelly meatballs.
