Not running out to a party tonight? Have fun creating Chanukah Sugar Cookies.
Make one big batch of sugar cookies dough. Get out the sprinkles or create a Cookie Coloring Station as shown here.
Roll them all out tonight, or freeze some of the dough for another night.
You can also easily halve this recipe.
There’s also no need to refrigerate this dough, so your kids can be busy rolling cookie dough in minutes!
Tip: This recipe makes a lot of cookies, but there’s no need to bake them all at once.
