Easy Gumdrop Sugar Cookie Ornaments Recipe

Ingredients

1

                        roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Sugar Cookie Dough

1/4

cup all-purpose flour

1

egg white, beaten

1

tablespoon red sugar

1

tablespoon green sugar

12

small gumdrops, cut in half

Preparation

In large bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir or knead in flour until well blended. (DO NOT EAT RAW COOKIE DOUGH AFTER COMBINING WITH FLOUR.) Reshape into log. Cut cookie dough lengthwise into 3 long slices. (See link below for diagram.) On work surface, separate slices with rounded sides down. Lightly brush all cut surfaces with beaten egg white.

Sprinkle egg white area of 1 rounded slice with red sugar. Place middle slice on top; sprinkle with green sugar. Place remaining rounded slice, egg white side down, on top; press firmly and if necessary, reshape into roll. Wrap roll in plastic wrap; freeze 30 minutes.

Heat oven to 350°F. Cut roll into 24 slices; place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Immediately press gumdrop half onto outer edge of each cookie to look like ornament hanger; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.
