Christmas Sugar Cookie Cupcakes
Welcome to Cupcake Tuesday! I’m so glad to have you! I have updated the Cupcake Heaven page, there are over 150 designs and recipes! Check it out!!
Well we are near the end my friends…another year of Christmas Cupcakes almost done! WOW! Where did the time go? I had SO much I wanted to share…and just not enough time.
Today…the best of both worlds collide when Christmas Cookies meet Christmas Cupcakes in these Sugar Cookie Cupcakes!
I love baking…you all know that, but honestly I don’t make a lot of cookies. Partly because I’m usually baking cupcakes but also because they take a lot of time. Domino Sugar has solved that problem, at least some of the problem. They have a Cookie Starter Mix Recipe that is perfect to put together, store in the fridge or freezer and then you can make lots of different cookies all from that starter mix.
While making my list of Christmas Cupcakes that I wanted to share with you, I added Sugar Cookie Cupcakes, so when Domino Sugar asked that I share their 1001 Cookie Starter Mix with you, I knew it would work perfect for these Christmas Cupcakes.
You will need the largest bowl you have in your cupboard though. This recipe makes 10 cups. Then for the Cut out sugar cookies you will need…
