It’s Tip Friday on Marilyn’s Treats. And todays tip is making Slice and Bake Cookies.
Slice and Bake Cookies
Spoon drop cookie dough in a log in the center of a piece of parchment.
Take a straight edge and place it on the top piece of parchment. Hold the edge in place as you pull the bottom edge of the parchment toward you. This will cause the dough to form a smooth, round shape. To keep cookies round as you slice them, roll the log away from you as your knife goes through it.
Here are two posts to get you started. Grandma Lydia’s Ice Box Cookies and my tip for Baking In Batches or Slice and Bake Cookie Dough
This article is part of the Tips That Help in the Kitchen Series, Tip Friday.

Thank you so much Mollie.
I had no idea that’s what created a chewier cookie? I love the ooey gooey middle of a cookie with slightly crisp edges! Love your tips, they always help me out! YUM!
I am glad they are useful Nikki.
Another helpful tip!! Thank you for sharing at #Fridayfrivolity!

Another great tip from you! Thanks for sharing and joining us at #sharethejoy
Thank you Michelle for sharing your thoughts!
What a great tip Marilyn, Thank you so much, when I’ve sliced them usually the shape is all gone and they look horrible, so rolling the log while slicing sounds great and I will definitely have to give this a try!
Glad you like it Katrin! it works well.
What an awesome tip! We love chocolate chip cookies at my house, so I should definitely make up some dough and do this. What a time saver! 🙂
It’s the best of both worlds. sliced cookies and your own dough.
How did you know I needed this tip? My cookie logs look like mishapened tree branches and when I slice them they are anything but round.
I can’t imagine anything you do isn’t to perfection!. I just realized I didn’t add my video! Still new to all this.
Another great ip! I do this and it makes it so much easier. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome Michelle. Thanks or letting me link up with you.
Hi Marilyn, Thanks for the tips! Blessings, Janet
You are welcome Janet!
I’m liking this hint! It’s great to be able to make slice and bake cookies in the quantity you want easily. 🙂
And you can use your own dough!
Great tip for rolled cookies. Simple and yet so perfect.

I’ve never thought about making my own slice & bake cookies, but this is such a great idea! Thanks for the inspiration, and for linking up with Merry Monday 🙂
Laziness is my teacher. Sometimes I don’t want to drop cookies!
great tips my friend. Hubby will eat a cookie before cake or even pie! xo
Thank you Katherine. My husband eats popcorn and ice cream every night. And he on’t let me add a thing to them.
Easy cookies!! And I love your tips! Thanks for sharing on the What’s for Dinner Link up!
I m glad my tips are getting good comments!
I did not know that drop cookie dough could just be shaped into a log for slice & bake cookies. Learned something new again! Thanks, Marilyn!
I got the idea from the refridgerator dough cookies in the dairy department!
I’d love to try this. Thanks for this great tip!
