To make Sugar Cookies: Combine 2 cups sugar cookie mix with 2/3 cup sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, 2 T. milk, and 1 egg. Stir until blended well. On a floured surface, use a floured rolling pin to roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out the dough using desired cookie cutters. Sprinkle with colored sugar and place on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 5 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. Remove from baking sheet and cool on a wire rack. Makes about 3 1/2 dozen cookies.
