How to Prevent Cookie Dough From Sticking to the Cutter

It is frustrating to be making a batch of cookies using cookie cutters when you have to keep stopping because the dough is sticking. This is especially hard when little ones are helping to make cookies! Next time, use these steps before you start and prevent the dough from sticking.

Things You'll Need

• Flour
• Cookie dough
• Oil
• Cookie cutters

Instructions

1. Mix the cookie dough and set aside.

2. Create a space to work in. Be sure you have all the tools you are going to need within reach.

3. Put flour down on the surface you will be rolling the dough onto.

4. Roll out the prepared dough onto the flour covered surface. You can do a little at a time, or all at once if there is room in the space you are working in.
