It’s Tip Friday on Marilyn’s Treats. And todays tip is Rolling into a ball!
Rolling into a ball
After scooping dough, roll it between your hands to finish rounding it. Some cookies, like snickerdoodles, are shaped into balls before being rolled in sugar to coat them evenly. This process is made easier with a cookie scoop, which portions roughly spherical amounts to start with.

Great app, I really love fresh baked cookies, but I hate having cookie dough all over my hands. This is a great solution. Thanks Marilyn.

Thanks Jess! I will.
Great advice and I really like to scoop my cookie dough, too!:):)
My scoop Ilka is my saving grace. I just need to figure out how to keep oatmel cookies from sticking so badly.
Great tip! I usually have the kiddos roll the dough, 😀 they like it.

Isn’t it great when the kids want to help? They learn so many skills that will help them later in life. Thanks for dropping by!
My cookies always seem to be lopsided so a scoop is definitely in order for me!
Cookies are my hardest thing to get right. Without the scoop they run the size of golfballs to oranges!
Great tip! I love using cookie scoops!
Thank you Kim! Melon ballers are neat also!
I do love my little Pampered Chef cookie scoop, it is a fantastic tool, especially when trying to make all those holiday cookies! Thanks again for stopping by Celebrate Your Story to share!
Do you have one that you squeeze to push out the dough? I hate it for thick dough as it sticks. I have to check out Pampered Chef! Thanks Chloe.
I love your tips! Thanks for sharing on the “What’s for Dinner” link up!
