4 Recipes using cookie cutters
Can you shape cookie dough by hand
Yes. Roll out your dough to 1/4″ thickness. Then use a glass upside down to cut a piece of dough that’s even.
- Use your fingers and pinch the dough to make points
- Use a fork to make decorations on the top of the dough
- Use a butter knife on a cutting board to cut the dough – a butter knife is better than a serrated because a serrated can cause jagged edges. A butter knife will give you a smooth finish
- Use your fingers to mold the dough into the shape you want by stretching and pulling the dough
How thick is 1/4 inch dough
1/4 inch dough is about half a macaroni length in thickness.

Cookie cutter storage ideas
