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.

April 2, 2016 at 9:37 PMMy scoop Ilka is my saving grace. I just need to figure out how to keep oatmel cookies from sticking so badly.

March 30, 2016 at 5:31 PMMy cookies always seem to be lopsided so a scoop is definitely in order for me!

March 30, 2016 at 9:59 PMCookies are my hardest thing to get right. Without the scoop they run the size of golfballs to oranges!

March 28, 2016 at 10:29 PMDo 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.

March 27, 2016 at 7:19 PMyes it does sound like a scoop could make the process of rolling into a ball easier. It rolls ice cream into a ball so why not dought thanks for the tip
