There are so many things you can do with sugar cookie dough. For this recipe, I recommend using a cookie dough mix and focus more on having kids shape it into cookie cups. Pressing the dough into mini muffin cups is a great motor skill challenge for little hands. This is the kind of recipe that works well with kids under age 10. For older kids, I think they can try to do it on their own, reaching out to parents, if needed.
