Slice-&-Bake-(2)Getting ready for some cookie making for Christmas and Holiday baking?

I always love the idea of making Christmas cookies when I see all the beautiful displays on magazines this time of year. But then I get overwhelmed because of the complexity of them all (and the time I would need to spend).

I’m generally all about simple so why be any different when it comes to this?

For my yummy (and easy) Slice and Bake Peppermint Sugar Cookies I used Reynolds Cookie Baking Sheets. They make the cookie making process so much easier because the cookies bake evenly and the sheets are non-stick (no worries about cookies stuck to the pan) and best of all… easy clean up!

Both Reynolds Genuine Parchment Paper and Cookie Baking Sheets (pre-cut parchment sheets) are tested to safely withstand oven temperatures up to 420°F.

While I love intricately decorated cookies, as a busy mom I don’t have time for that. So my Slice and Bake Peppermint Sugar Cookies are perfect for my lifestyle. They are easy, festive and don’t take long or a lot of talent to decorate. Perfect!

    These look so yummy! Just wondering how many eggs?? The directions say to add eggs one at a time but they’re not in the ingredients list...
