That depends a lot on the recipe itself; If it’s prone to spreading, you need to anticipate that you won’t be able to get perfectly sharp edges out of it, and select simpler shapes. You can cut down on the spreading to a degree by chilling the cut cookies in the freezer for 15 minutes before baking, though. Just get the sheet of frozen cookies right into the preheated oven without giving them a chance to thaw.

Happy Baking!

While it would certainly be much quicker to make these classics as drop cookies, it’s all about the cut-outs, if you ask me. Endless varieties of cookie cutters catch my eye every time I find myself shopping for kitchen supplies, and now is the time of year I can put those impulse buys to good use. These shaped cookies can do more than just feed the stomach, but also treat the eyes, and quite possibly elevate one’s mood. The effort put into making these cookies into something special is what truly makes them a perfect gift. It takes a bit of patience, skill, and luck, but I have a few tips to help you get started in case you need some reassurance. [...]

You are always a source of inspiration for me. This morning I saw that on the Gourmet magazine website they have recipes for their ‘cookie of the year’ from 1941 until 2000. Many of them are not vegan (okay a lot of them), but, the recipes and presentations might be inspiration for the development of new vegan treats. I know as a fellow Daring Baker, you are used to trying to veganize baked goods!
I think I might play with a few of these recipes for upcoming cookie exchanges and thought you might be interested in seeing them as well. Here is the link:

I’m planning to make roll-out cookies for the first time. I’m still nervous about making and rolling out the dough.

I didn’t even like them as a non-vegan, but now I’m such a cut-out fanatic, they’re just too much fun!
