Holiday Cookies

I picked up a Real Simple magazine and found a few good holiday cookie recipes.  The recipes all called for the same basic sugar cookie dough and had different variations to change the type of cookie.  I decided to go with the Nutella sandwich cookie and basic sugar cookie with sprinkles.  What did I learn?  Even though they tasted pretty good, making cookies from scratch is uber time-consuming and using cookie cutters is even more so.  Too bad the recipe wouldn't allow for pre-made dough.  Pre-made cookie dough/break and bake is an ingenious idea!
