We love this one because the simple, yet recognizable shape makes sweater cookies that are easy to decorate.

Why do my sweater cookies spread?

Make sure you have added the flour, butter and egg called for on the cookie mix pouch. Cut the dough with the cookie cutters and bake it right after mixing the dough. Be sure to use completely cool cookie sheets.

What Are Ugly Sweater Cookies?

Sugar cookie mix is mixed with flour, butter, and egg for the dough to become cutout cookies. Some of the cookie dough is tinted red so that when the cookies are cut out, there will be both red and white random parts, making them “ugly sweaters”. The cookies are decorated with assorted icings and sprinkles to become the cutest ugly holiday sweater cookies you can devour!

Instructions

Step 1
Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, flour, butter and egg until soft dough forms. Place one-third of the dough into small bowl. Tint red by stirring in food color.

Step 2
On floured surface, drop by slightly less than tablespoonfuls of doughs in random pattern to make large rectangle. Dough pieces should be just touching together.

Step 3
Push dough toward center on all sides to make 6x5-inch rectangle. Roll dough 1/4-inch thick to create marbled pattern. Cut shapes with floured 3 1/2- to 4-inch sweater shaped cookie cutter. Lightly press back of cookie spatula in flour, and slide under cookie dough; place cutouts 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Press any leftover scraps together, and reroll on floured surface to make more cookies.

Step 4
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Step 5
Use Decorations as desired, using photo as a guide. Let stand at least 1 hour or until set. Store covered in airtight container at room temperature with waxed paper between layers.

Recipe Tips

Try a batch from scratch! Betty’s Classic Sugar Cookies is the perfect recipe for beginning bakers and seasoned experts alike. We’ll show you how to go from dough to oven, step by step.
Ugly Christmas sweater cookies turn out best when baked one sheet at a time on middle oven rack. Allow cookie sheet to cool completely in between batches. Otherwise, cookies will spread too much.
Be sure to work quickly when adding decorations to your Christmas sweater sugar cookies, as icing sets quickly.
The more cookies are rolled, the more marbled the cookies become.
Short on time? Make and bake cutout cookies the day before decorating. Cool completely, and then store in a covered container at room temperature until the next day. Continue as directed in recipe.
