How to Roll out Sugar Cookie Dough-Video

When I first started making cookies I didn’t know much about cookie dough, royal icing, or how to roll out cookie dough. I seemed to use about a pound of flour to sprinkle the mat and counters so the dough wouldn’t stick when I cut out the shapes. Then, I would spend the rest of the evening trying to clean up the mess. The really sad part was, I couldn’t understand why my cookies were dry and crumbly. It never occurred to me that it could be all the extra flour I added to the dough while rolling it out.

This method only works with dough that has been frozen for a few minutes. My sugar cookies recipes require I chill the dough for about an hour before cutting out the cookies. If you freeze it for 15-30 minutes, you can start baking faster.
