Doughnut Cookies

I really think these Dough­nut Cook­ies from Williams-Sonoma are an adorable idea and per­fect for a party.  Although I am not sure I could afford the price tag.  Given that bud­gets are bud­gets and mine has lim­ited cookie shop­ping money avail­able. Which I know, is just silly! Since every­one knows buy­ing cook­ies is way more impor­tant than ANY other bill.  But still I do love how cute they are.

I am also think­ing that if one is moti­vated they could eas­ily make these mak­ing a batch of sugar cook­ies using a sim­ple recipe.  Before bak­ing the cook­ies, divide the batch equally into maybe 4 {or more} dif­fer­ent sec­tions and you could also fla­vor each smaller group dif­fer­ently mak­ing a vari­ety of unique “dough­nuts” {e.g. one with lemon extract, one with maple extract, one with coconut etc…}. Shape into cir­cles, cut out the cen­ter after you bake them and then decorate.

Once they are all dec­o­rated sim­ply serve at the gath­er­ing of choice. You could even find a box, the kind a dozen dough­nuts would come in, and have that box as part of cre­at­ing the dough­nut theme.  Or you could just buy them if you have the extra dough lay­ing around.
