Hi Linda,

What are you using to roll out your sugar cookie dough? I use Flexible Plastic Cutting Board Mats: https://amzn.to/3L9sKkh and a piece of Glad Clin ‘N Seal. As soon as I make the dough I divide it into two pieces, place it on a mat, cover it with Cling ‘N Seal, and then place it in the freezer for a few minutes. When I remove it from the freezer I put it on the counter mat-side up. I peel the mat off the dough, then place the mat back on the dough and turn it over. Remove the plastic wrap from the top and cut out your shapes.

Placing the dough in the freezer for a few minutes makes a huge difference in how the dough will let go of the mat. No sticking whatsoever! Here is an older video that shows these steps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0Ig5HFOl1U&list=PLUQwrH_v6x7w9PEE9tqJAmetkvjFXkCVI&index=2&t=4s

I have tried to make sugar cookies and Gingerman but I always end up mad and throwing the dough away. It always sticks and can’t pick them up.
My dream is learning   and  maybe  one day I could have a business at home.
Thank you…

Alma

Hi Erin,

Yes, you can make the cookie dough ahead of time and store in the freezer. I suggest you practice before you do it for orders so you will see how your recipe in your area will work. If I freeze mine for a week, you can’t tell that I have frozen it. It tastes fresh. They say you can freeze sugar cookie dough for up to three months. I usually freeze it for about a month and it still tastes fresh. I don’t like to freeze mine longer than that. It’s just a personal preference.

The key is in making sure it stays fresh is to make sure it’s properly covered. If the air in the freezer touches it your dough might get freezer burn. Wrap it in plastic wrap first. Then, wrap it in aluminum foil. Last but not least, place it in a Ziploc freezer bag. This will keep it fresh.

Just practice with a few batches of dough first so you know how it will work in your area.

If so, how long would you thaw before cutting cookies?

Hi Robin,

You aren’t doing anything wrong. Sometimes that happens. Do you have a bench scraper? If you do, use it to remove the leftover dough on the mat before you roll out the second batch. Also, when you pull the mat away from the dough, bend the mat as you pull it. Watch this video and see how I use my hands to pull the mat. https://thebearfootbaker.com/2016/01/simple-sugar-cookie-recipe/

Let me know if you need more help!
Bear hugs,
Lisa

First of all thank you for all your tutorials and blogs, I have always been a baker (pies, cakes, breads etc) and always have really enjoyed the artistic part of it. But, I am just now going to try and do this seriously and your info has been helpful.
I do have one question…when I roll out my dough on my silicone mat, with the plastic wrap on top of the dough every time I lift it it leaves some behind on the mat. The not smooth texture it leaves behind on my dough is what concerns me. I do realize that the first ball does it less, so the more frozen one, but no matter what it does it. I pull it up very slowly and with pressure on it but I can’t get it to stop doing it completely. What am I doing wrong?
