If the media has taught me anything, it\u2019s that regular sugar cookies are the default cookies left out for Santa. But after a lifetime of delivering gifts, I\u2019m pretty sure, much like Santa\u2019s whole body is tired after a night of chimney sliding, present slinging, turbulent sleigh riding, reindeer arguing, and a low iPhone battery, his taste buds must be equally as tired as the rest of his body from sugar cookies.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m gonna mix it up for Santa this year and offer him something new. Crumbl? I\u2019m not spending six bucks for one cookie. Chips Ahoy? I don\u2019t want to be on his naughty list next year. Cookies baked from scratch with love? I don\u2019t have the time or love for that.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m leaving out for him Pillsbury Candy Cane Sugar Cookies that I got for free from General Mills, which I\u2019m going to try to pass off as baked from scratch. I\u2019m also including a nice, cold, tall glass of a Monster Ultra Energy Drink. SHHHH! Don\u2019t you be telling Santa that I put zero money and barely any effort into turning this pre-made, pre-cut cookie dough into cookies for him. You know what they say, \u201cSnitches get stitches\u201d and \u201cInformers, something something something. I lick he boom-boom down.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
In my mind, being labeled \u201ccandy cane\u201d meant there were crunchy candy cane bits in the dough, and when I examined the baked cookie closely through my nearsightedness, I noticed red and white bits, which made me think there were tiny shards of minty candy. However, my teeth didn\u2019t register any crunchy bits; instead, it had the texture of a regular Pillsbury sugar cookie, soft and slightly chewy.<\/p>\n
But the lack of candy cane bits did not equal a lack of peppermint flavor. There\u2019s a mild Sensodyne toothpaste-like mintiness in every bite. Even if you don\u2019t chomp on one of those red or white bits, the dough has mint baked into it.<\/p>\n
While I\u2019m disappointed I didn\u2019t experience crunchy candy cane bits and a strong minty flavor from the cookies, these Pillsbury Limited Edition Candy Cane Sugar Cookie Dough cookies are decent. They\u2019re different enough from Pillsbury\u2019s standard sugar cookies that Santa might let out a quiet ho ho ho when he shoves them between his red, rosy cheeks. However, they aren\u2019t outstanding enough to make The Big Guy forget all the illegal trespassing, storm avoiding, tip-toeing, fireplace fire avoiding, and elf attitude he needs to deal with for the rest of the night.<\/p>\n
