PinkInTheBlue Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 So I found recipe for gingerbread cookies. It says to chill for 2 hours or until "easy to handle" ( whatever that means). 2 hours will make it too late to actually bake the cookies because the 5 year old wants to help bake. Should I leave the 4 wax paper wrapped cookie doughs in the refrigerator all night? Will I need to leave them out for a little while in the morning before rolling it out? Should I wrap it in something else? I don't make cutout cookies often at all even though I enjoy them. Any tips I should know? They are ready to go to chill right now, so quick answers would be appreciated. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriedClams Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 If you roll them between wax paper, then you can stick them in the freezer for 15 minutes. I would recommend putting flour on the paper (bottom) and dough (top) so the paper doesn't stick when you peel it off. ETA - if it's drop cookies I would scoop them out and stick them on a plate to freeze them for 15 minutes. If you don't care how ugly they come out - that should work. You only really need to do the first pile, then you can chill the there once you got your cookie in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
