2 fun ways to use your pillsbury sugar cookie dough (had a great bake sale weekend)

hello chef ava marie followers, I had a fun but long garage sale weekend, made lots of money toward cooking classes at local venues such as park and rec and culinary centers in San mateo county and a fun neighborhood trip to reno as well. so I hope some of you who came enjoyed my 2 cookie dough recipes I sold at the bake sale for 2 for $1.00 and they sold out fast, but there are some leftovers for family to eat only. so those of you who came, thank you for supporting my bake sale and my neighborhood wide sale. they were not so many homes, but we made it and it was a success no matter what. so here are not one, but 2 cookie recipes using Pillsbury sugar cookie dough so enjoy!

 you basically line the cookie sheet with foil, I recommend you spray the pan before you add the candied pecans onto the sheet

 you basically let the sugar sit for a few minutes do not let it scorch the pan it will burn then add the pecans and toss gently until candied together and then transfer to the pan

1 use this same cookie dough from Pillsbury 2 ways, one with pecans and brown sugar, the other rolled in cinnamon sugar will show you how

 on a plate you basically add 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 tsp a cinnamon and mix with a fork until blended together.

 I roll the cookie dough into golfball size then roll into cinnamon sugar mixture and placed on a cookie sheet.

 I bake in the preheated 350 oven for 13 minutes,  watch they will burn then transfer to a cooling rack and that's what they look like

 I use the pecans to make the candied pecans for the praline cookies very easy to do!

 you let them harden on the greased foil then take them off to a cutting board and chopped them up finely and add to broken Pillsbury cookie dough along with brown sugar and regular sugar

 then roll into golfball size balls and add to cookie sheet 2 inches apart please

you bake them at 325 degrees for 14 minutes or until light golden, check and don't let them over brown and do the same as with the first cookie. and it's off to your next bake sale,. so enjoy!
