EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Cut cookies with a cutter dipped in flour or powdered sugar--unsweetened baking cocoa for chocolate dough--as close together as possible on rolled dough to avoid re-rolling (re-rolled dough will be a little tougher).

I used my family sugar cookie recipe but what drew me to this was the decoration idea - so easy and fun and less mess! I ran out of gel dwriting icing and the store only had the opaque kind left so I gave it a shot. Not bad but the gel was the winner for me - more of a cool retro Christmas cookie feel.
