2 packages refrigerator sugar cookie dough rolls
Flour for board and rolling pin
heavy card-type paper or cardboard
Various icings in tubes from supermarket
Various candies for decorating cookies


Cut each sugar cookie dough roll in half. Form each into a ball and flatten
into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate about 45 minutes until
firm. Draw and cut out hand shapes of family members to use as guides for
making cookies. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. (check temperature on cookie
dough package.) Working with one dough ball at a time on floured board,
roll out to about 1/4 inch thick. Use enough flour so dough isnt sticky and
can be easily removed to cookie sheet. Place paper hand cut-out on dough
and trace with a sharp knife, making cookie hands. Place on cookie sheets &
bake until light golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool on rack
completely before decorating. Repeat with all cookie dough. Decorate using
icings and candies. You can even write family members names on each. This
is the fun part to do with kids!
