Notes: Make sure your butter is at room temperature so it can easily combine with the sugar.
Don’t forget to scrape the bottom of the bowl, as dry ingredients can sometimes get trapped.
Be careful not to overmix your dough! As soon as your dough starts to clump together, you’re ready to roll.
Adding Color. Icing colors are perfect for coloring cookie dough. Add a small amount of color at a time to the dough to reach the desired shade. Use a mixer to blend the color well.
Using Cookie Cutters. Dip cookie cutters in flour between almost every cut. This will not only prevent the dough from sticking to your cutter, but the flour on the edges of the cookie will help seal it, which will help your cookies keep their shape in the oven.
