Description
These stacked Pillsbury sugar cookies are an easy, crowd-pleasing treat that feel homemade without the fuss, ready in under an hour.
Ingredients
- 2 tubes (33 oz) Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 1 teaspoon frosting or jam (optional, per layer)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
- Equipment: Baking sheet, parchment paper, cooling rack, 2.5–3 inch cookie cutter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out or press the cookie dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Cut rounds with a 2.5–3 inch cutter and chill cut rounds on a tray for 10 minutes.
- Stack two rounds together, optionally spreading 1 teaspoon of frosting or jam between layers.
- Press gently, chill again for 10–15 minutes, then bake for 9–11 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
- Cool on a wire rack and finish with a light dusting of sugar, glaze, or sprinkles.
Notes
Chilling between steps prevents spreading and keeps layers distinct. Use thicker fillings to avoid sogginess.
