          Frequently Asked Questions:



          Can I freeze the cookies? How can I store the cookies?



          If you are planning to freeze the cookies then arrange them in a Ziploc bag if they are without frosting stacked on top of each other with a parchment paper in between two layers to avoid the cookies sticking to each other.


          They should freeze well for upto 2 months.


          Keep them on kitchen counter for few minutes before they get to room temperature to serve them.



          Store the cookies in a ziploc bag and then store in air tight container for keeping upto a week or more.



          If the dough is sticky or it is crumbly then what can I do? How Do I fix this?



          If the cookie dough is sticky then do not hesitate to add in some extra flour to make a soft dough,also to make the dough workable if the dough is crumbly/dry then wet your hands and knead the dough to make it smooth.




          Can I freeze the dough?



          If you are planning to make dough in advance so that you can make cookies in a day or two then wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it.


          When you need to bake the cookies,let the dough come to little bit of room temperature,arrange the silicone baking mat or parchment paper and sprinkle some flour and roll the dough. 



          If the Cookies are not baked well enough,Can I bake them for some more time?



          Depending on how thick you cut the cookies the baking time will vary.So if you have cut the cookies around 1/4th Inch or little less than 1/4th Inch then you should bake it for 7 to 9 mins at 350f or you can turn around the baking tray and bake for few more minutes till the edges start to brown.


          Immediate after you have baked the cookies do not lift them as they will be soft,give them few minutes to cool down they will harden.




          How thick do I need to cut the cookies?



          You can roll out the dough on a parchment paper or silicone mat and cut it then and there itself,that way you can avoid an extra step of transferring the cut out cookies onto baking tray.


          To get thin crisp cookies cut the cookies around 1/8th Inch thick and for thicker cookies cut them around 1/4th Inch. For each of these the baking time will vary by a few minutes. 









          Tips To Make Best Sugar Cookies Ever!





          • When the cookies are baked,they will be still soft so keep them aside to cool off completely.Once completely cooled they will get hard.


          • If you want to freeze the dough then double wrap it first in plastic wrap then in Ziploc and freeze it. It should be good for 2 months.

          • When you want to roll the dough to bake cookies then you should thaw it in refrigerator section first and then keep it on kitchen counter before you finally roll.

          • If you are using salted butter then watch for amount of salt you add in the dough.Make sure it does not turn salty.

          • Depending on how thick or thin you cut the cookies and how big or small is your cookie cutter the final baking time and servings of this recipe will change.


          • If you want soft chewy cookies then cut the cookies around 1/4th Inch thick or slightly less and bake for 7 to 9 minutes but if you want thin and crispier cookies then cut the cookies about 1/8th Inch thick and bake for up to 6 to 8 minutes or till edges are slightly browned.

          • When you are rolling the dough try to roll it on silicone baking mat or parchment paper itself as this will avoid a step to cut and transfer the cookies to baking tray.


          • When rolling the dough,make two parts of dough and roll them separately,this way you dont have to keep using excess dough for each rolling.


          • Make sure the cookies you cut are very close to each other that way you avoid keep rolling out scrapes and adding extra flour.


          • Also arrange the cookies of same size together for baking this will ensure even baking for all cookies.


          • Butter should be cool but soft,such as when you press it,that should leave finger impression on it but you should not be able to poke a finger and let pass through the butter.
