- Dough should be stiff and moist enough to roll easily, but
not so stiff that it breaks apart. Be sure to measure ingredients
accurately to get the best possible consistency.
- When the dough is soft there is usually a refrigeration
time allowed for. Be sure and follow it.
- Work with a small amount of dough at a time, keeping the
rest refrigerated and covered.
- Roll out dough on a slightly floured surface. Sometimes
you can use powdered sugar instead flour.
- For tender cookies handle the dough as little as possible.
- Follow recipe directions for cookie sheet preparation and
placement of cookies on pan to avoid sticking and to preserve
shapes.
- Cool cookie sheets between bakes to keep dough from
spreading.
- Remove baked cookies from hot cookie sheets according to
instructions, using a wide metal spatula for support.
