Gather your favorite cookie cutters and rolling pin, and let's start baking! Cut out cookies are a classic Christmas treat because they are fun to make, and the whole family can get involved and make memories.
Here are a few tips for making cutout cookies:
- To prevent the cookie dough from sticking to the rolling pin, place a sheet of parchment paper between the pin and the dough for easier rolling.
- If directed in the recipe, chill the dough to make it more pliable and easier to work with after using the cookie cutters.
- Dip your favorite cookie cutters in flour before cutting into the dough to help prevent sticking.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before frosting them. This will ensure that the royal icing or buttercream frosting does not melt into the cookies.
- When storing decorated cookies, place parchment paper between each layer to prevent them from sticking together.
Happy baking!
