Thursday's Food Tip: Here's an Easy Way to Roll Out Sugar Cookie Dough!

Sugar Cookie Mix from the Three Angels Gourmet Co. makes such cute and delicious sugar cookies when the dough is rolled out and cut into a variety of shapes with cookie cutters.



Here’s an easy way to roll out the sugar cookie dough. It will help the cookies retain their shape and you won’t have to use excess flour to keep the rolling pin from sticking to the dough.

Instead of plopping the cookie dough directly onto your cutting board (as pictured above), lay out the dough on a piece of parchment paper. Cover the dough with another piece of parchment paper of equal size.

Use a rolling pin to roll over the top sheet of parchment paper until the dough underneath thins out to the thickness you want for your cookies (you can lift the paper as you’re rolling, to smooth out any wrinkles). Peel off the top sheet of parchment and cut out the cookies with cookie cutters. Transfer the cut cookies to a baking sheet and pop them into the oven and bake.
