Any cookie decorator knows that a decorated cookie is only as lovely as its underlying cookie “canvas”! In this video, I reveal my seven steps to flawless rolled cookies, including how to cut to minimize distortion and bake for even browning. And what’s even better?! None of these steps requires any fancy tools, such as dough boards or rolling pin guides. With the right dough, a rolling pin, and a heavy-gauge sheet pan, you can consistently get picture-perfect cutout cookies.

Note: This video is one of the original videos in my 16-video decorating techniques DVD, which was discontinued last month. I’ll be migrating a select number (no more than half) of these videos to YouTube over time. My app (available for sale here) will remain the only place where you’ll be able to view all of the original videos as a set, so please check it out if you haven’t already.

P.S. Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel so you don’t miss my upcoming releases! There are many more to come. For my complete 16-video cookie decorating fundamentals course, again, check out my app in the “Also See” link below. Thanks!
