I will say, I remember getting compliments on the bagged one. And I remember it being super easy. Just follow the directions for the rolled out version (less water maybe?).
I have yet to find a sugar cookie roll-out recipe I like, so I can totally see why you would be willing to cheat.

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
I made this recipe today and they were awesome. I can't stop eating them! Super easy too, OP. I did them with three kids under 6 in the house while DH was at work...that's how easy they are. If you make them, don't follow the modifications in the comments--they were perfect as is and would be great for kids to decorate. Not much harder tha buying the Pils dough and rolling that out by hand.
