Thanks... you're a total life saver!</p> <p>@sera_87: I saw it but a couple of the comments made me nervous. 1. It calls for alot more vanilla than most and 2. It was crumbly &amp; I really need my cookies together. I am NOT a baker so those kinda scared me off! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sugars-cookies-from-a-box-help#post-706138 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 18:02:55 +0000 sera_87 706138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Martha Stewart's recipe. It's deeeelishous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sugars-cookies-from-a-box-help#post-706043 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 17:02:02 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 706043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All purpose gf flour should most likely be okay. It would be better to use a mix of a few flours (which AP usually is) as opposed to all almond flour, or all coconut flour for example. They should hold up just fine. </p> <p>And the dough will keep in the fridge for ages. Like, at least a week, if you wrap it in plastic wrap first, then tinfoil. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sugars-cookies-from-a-box-help#post-706034 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 16:55:06 +0000 runsyellowlites 706034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@redsmarties: That does help so much! Thanks! I'll def be using your recipe... how long in the fridge do you think it would last? Ideally I'd make the dough tonight, possibly tomorrow, and then make the cookies Saturday.</p> <p>ETA: Do you think an "all purpose" GF flour would work as a substitute? I know baking can be kinda unfriendly when it comes to subs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sugars-cookies-from-a-box-help#post-706020 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 16:50:17 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 706020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some of the packaged cookie mixes make tasty dough - but the ones I've tried aren't very good for rolling/cutting - they are softer, for drop cookies.</p> <p>I have a pretty easy sugar cookie recipe that makes a lot, freezes really well, and is pretty tasty (if you want to go the homemade route). </p> <p>1 1/2 cups butter<br /> 2 cups white sugar<br /> 4 eggs<br /> vanilla extract (or other flavouring)<br /> 5 cups all-purpose flour<br /> 2 tsp baking powder<br /> 1 tsp salt</p> <p>Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in vanilla, beat until combined. Beat in eggs one at a time. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt, and add this slowly to the wet ingredients. Roll dough into a few balls, refrigerate for about half hour. Roll, cut and bake on a cookie sheet for about 10 minutes, depending on the size of your cookie. </p> <p>Hope this helps!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sugars-cookies-from-a-box-help#post-706006 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 16:43:28 +0000 runsyellowlites 706006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're doing cookie decorating for P's party and I am at a total loss at what the best "cookie" recipe/prep to use is. The cookies will be in the shape of a "P" so it needs to be something I can roll out. </p> <p>Should I make the dough myself, what is the best recipe?<br /> Is there a "cookie in a box" mix that is good?<br /> Or maybe in the refrigerated section?</p> <p>IDK! Any bees cookie makers? </p>
