Tips

  • Number of cookies will depend on cut out size and how thick you roll your dough.
  • For thinner cookies, roll out your dough to 1/8" and 1/4" for thicker cookies.
  • Bake thinner or smaller cookies for 8-10 minutes.
  • Measure your flour correctly. Adding too much flour will result to crumbly texture or sandy taste when baked.
  • Let your cookies cool completely before frosting them. If they are not cool, the icing will melt.
