Make cookie dough spacers
As previously mentioned (in cookie dough recipe) I use spacers when rolling my dough. This is like the very first ones I used and thought that I should explain them for anyone who may not know exactly what I was talking about. Using these (or other spacers) when rolling dough will keep your cut out cookies an even thickness.
What to do - tape 3 or 4 Popsicle sticks (wooden craft sticks) together, make two. Walla - you are done!
These are good to use with small quantities of dough and great to experiment with until you find the thickness that you prefer. Once you know the thickness that you prefer you can get two longer strips of wood to use as your spacers.
Excellent idea...could also work with rolling fondant ;-)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutly Roxy, I was going to mention it when I finally get to the decorating with fondant part so you beat me to it ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt is honestly such a simple thing but makes such a big difference when making cookies (and fondant) and I don't know why I have never seen it mentioned in cookie books and blogs?!
