DIRECTIONS

1. Heat oven to 350ºF. Remove half of cookie dough from wrapper; refrigerate remaining dough until needed. On lightly floured surface with rolling pin, roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness.

2. With cookie cutters, cut dough into 2 1/2-inch rounds, ovals, stars and half moon shapes (see shapes in photo). On ungreased cookie sheets, place shapes 2 inches apart. Repeat with remaining half of dough.

3. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until light golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.

4. In small bowl, mix frosting and food color until well blended and desired red color. Decorate each cookie to resemble Santa with red frosting and baking bits.
