Save time and money on your Christmas cookie baking with these genius hacks, so you can focus on enjoying the holiday season.
11. Stay away from cold butter Flickr
Here’s a little baking secret: room temperature butter makes your cookies chewier.
Leave the amount you need out on a plate for about 30 minutes before you start baking.
It will mix better with dry ingredients and help the cookie dough to hold its shape while it bakes.
12. Flour your cookie cutters Pixabay
When it comes to making cutout gingerbread or sugar cookies, the dough often sticks to the cutter and deforms what you’re trying to create.
Talk about a cooking disaster.
Flouring your cookie cutters before each use lets the dough slice easily and keep its shape once it’s placed on the cookie sheet.
13. Chill your dough Pexels
Chilling your dough at least four hours before baking makes it easier to work with.
This also enhances its flavour, especially the butter, because all of the ingredients have had time to meld together.
Adding in this extra prep time can seem like a pain, but you’ll thank yourself when you have the most savoury cookies.
