Superbowl Cookies

Our good friends Tim and Jackie had us over for the Saints v. Colts game Sunday night.  There was so much food!  The spread included black bean chili, queso, chips & salsa, veggies, layered Tex Mex salad, hot wings, and cookies.  This is one of the main reasons I love the Superbowl.

I brought the yummy layered salad and these cookies.  I made plain sugar cookies using left over sugar cookie dough that I’d stashed in the freezer, and some chocolate sugar cookies.  Both recipes come from the Joyofbaking.com.

The chocolate dough was easy to prepare and easy to cut out.  They baked up pretty evenly and tasted good.  I did find them a bit drier than the plain sugar cookie, but still tasty.  I made sugar cookie helmets honoring both teams, and chocolate cookie footballs.
