Christmas Sugar Cookie Help?!
I made a batch of sugar cookie dough and I rolled out and baked half the cookies and they spread soo much! You could barely tell the shape I cut out!! What can I add to the dough so it will not spread as much!. More Flour!? It was very buttery dough (2 sticks w/ 2 cups flour)Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Did you put the dough in the refrigerator for about an hour!? This makes the butter sit again and will help in the spreading!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
that also happens to me sometimes and i found this really good recipe and the cookies come out fantastic and in the right shape :)
