Chocolate Stuffed Mitten Sugar Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

1

                        roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Sugar Cookie Dough

1/4

cup all-purpose flour

1/2

cup candy-coated chocolate candies

1

cup vanilla creamy ready-to-spread frosting

Decorations, if desired (colored sugars, coconut, sprinkles)

Preparation

Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir or knead in 1/4 cup flour until well blended. (DO NOT EAT RAW COOKIE DOUGH AFTER COMBINING WITH FLOUR.) Remove half the dough. Sprinkle work surface lightly with flour. With floured rolling pin, roll dough 1/8 inch thick.

With 3-inch mitten-shaped cookie cutter, cut dough into mitten shapes, rerolling dough as needed. On ungreased cookie sheets, place half of the shapes 2 inches apart. Place 2 chocolate candies on each mitten; place remaining mitten cutouts on top of candies, pressing sides slightly to seal. Repeat with remaining half of dough.

Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until light golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.

Frost and decorate cookies as desired.
