Tips for Sugar Cookies
- First and for most, the no brainer, roll the dough evenly.
- Cream the butter and sugar well.
- Bake them on very clean cookie sheets so they don’t absorb the flavor.
- Do not bake sugar cookies on dark pans because they will be more likely to burn on the bottom.
- Let the cookies cool before removing them from the pan but beware not to let them completely cool.
- Clean your spatula after you remove each cookie from the pan, cookie bits left on the spatula can make removing cookies more difficult.
- For crisp sugar cookies roll the dough to a thin thickness.
- For softer sugar cookies roll them out to a thicker thickness and bake them for a shorter time period
- Keep them stored in a tightly sealed container only if they are without icing to prevent them from becoming soft.
- Ice/frost them the day you want to serve them.
- Short on time? Make the dough ahead of time and keep it refrigerated or in the freezer (if you put the dough in the freezer roll it into cookie logs so all you have to do is slice and bake them).
- Make sure that you have enough cooling racks for the amount of cookies you want to bake.
