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.

Katrin
June 18, 2016 at 12:13 PMWhat 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!
Marilyn

June 17, 2016 at 7:56 PMWhat 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! 🙂
Marilyn
June 18, 2016 at 4:26 PMIt’s the best of both worlds. sliced cookies and your own dough.

June 16, 2016 at 9:27 PMHow 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.
