The busy holiday season is here and as much as I love making homemade treats I know my time is limited. When I need a quick and easy made at home treat I like to use Pillsbury™ cookie dough chubs to make fun holiday desserts like these Sugar Cookie Cupcake Bites.
Sugar Cookie Cupcake Bites are the best of both worlds. A layer of sweet sugar cookie dough is topped with red cupcake batter. After baking and cooling you can top these sweet little holiday gems with vanilla frosting and decorate with holiday themed cupcake toppings.
These Sugar Cookie Cupcake Bites are perfect for your holiday open house or Christmas party. The best thing about them is that you only need three easy to find ingredients and some sprinkles or holiday themed cupcake toppings.
I picked up all my supplies on a recent Walmart shopping trip. I used the Pillsbury™ Sugar Cookies 16.5 oz chub for this recipe but you can also find the Pillsbury™ Sugar Cookies in a larger 30 oz. chub at Walmart for your holiday baking.
Baking during the holidays with Pillsbury™ brand cookie and cake mix really makes my life easier. You can make so many different kinds of desserts with just a few products.
