Test Kitchen Tips:
To save on prep time the day of your meal, the dressing can be prepared up to 1 week in advance.
There are many options available so that you can enjoy warm dinner rolls with little or no effort. There are pre-baked rolls you can purchase from your grocery store's bakery. These can be wrapped in foil and warmed in a 350 degrees oven for 5 to 10 minutes. There are frozen dinner rolls that you can reheat according to the package. Or, there are brown-and-serve rolls you can buy in the bread section of the grocery store. These can be baked off according to package directions.
Save extra cookies or make a double batch for cookie trays or any holiday gathering. These cookies store well. Store at room temperature in a covered container up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
