Ingredients

  • 1 roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated sugar cookies
  • 16 pieces foil-covered chocolate coins (Hanukkah gelt), unwrapped
  • Bright yellow or blue sanding sugar

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Cut dough evenly into 16 slices; place slices 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Flatten each slice until it measures about 2 inches in diameter. Sprinkle slices with sanding sugar; place 1 piece of gelt on center of each slice.
  • 2
    Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown (gelt may be slightly melted but should hold its shape). Cool 5 to 10 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    You can find sanding sugar in the baking aisle at most craft stores. If you can’t find it, use your favorite blue or yellow sprinkles.
  • tip 2
    Cookies will stay fresh up to five days in an airtight container.
