Repeat with remaining half of dough.
3 Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling racks. Cool completely. Decorate with frosting and candies for eyes and buttons as desired.

I made these last year with the dough and they were great. Would love to make again, but can't find the dough. Does Pillsbury even make this gingerbread cookie dough anymore?

When using this, do the cookies turn out soft?
