Cookie Cutter Tip!

 I’ve been trying a lot of new cookie recipes lately. One in particular was a sugar cookie recipe. I wanted to make snowflakes using a cookie cutter I have and I had a lot of trouble getting the shape to hold. My dough was soft and when I would transfer the cookie from my cutting surface to my baking sheet it would cause malformed edges. I also tried laying parchment paper on my baking tray and cutting my dough directly on the sheet I’d be baking with. Then, I tried pulling off the unnecessary dough between snowflakes. The dough clung to the parchment and stuck so bad! I was annoyed however I had a plan. I rolled  my cookie dough onto parchment paper laid onto a cookie sheet. Then, I put my dough in the freezer. I let it sit in there for around 30 minutes. A miracle happened! I was able to cut shapes with the cookie cutter and the edges were sharp and perfect! As an added bonus, the dough stuck to my cookie cutter so I could carry over to a newly set up baking tray with parchment without even touching the edges. I gently used my finger to push through the top of the cookie cutter and presto! Perfect snowflakes ready to bake. My cookies held up so well after baking and I honestly felt like a pro haha! I didn’t even have to adjust my baking time. However, different recipes could have different results so use caution and watch closely the first time you try this to make sure the timing is right.Tell me in the comments if you try this along with the type of cookie and results :)
