Crafting Holiday Sugar Cookies
Make “home for the holidays” a little more merry and bright by baking and decorating festive cookies with your family. The smell of warm cookies baking in the oven is sure to lift spirits and fill your home with warmth and comfort. When the holiday spirit hits and you’re ready to start baking, you’ll want to be fully prepared with all of the necessary kitchen utensils, cookie decorations and either ingredients to make homemade cookies using our Sugar Cookie recipe or have Schnucks ready to bake sugar cookie dough on hand for some speedier sweets.
Top Cookie Tips

- Place a foil-covered baking sheet under the cooling rack to catch any icing drips or excess decorations.

- Cookies can be kept for about a week in an airtight container.
