I find that when I made my cookies some of them were thick in one area and thinner in the other. I came across this site http://www.goldaskitchen.com/merchant.ihtml?id=27&pid=5970&step=4
I was wondering have you seen these rings around? What is your solution to even cookies?

I have not tried the rings although they seem like they would good.

I went to Home Depot and bought a wooden dowel (they come in round and square) that was 48" long. I cut it in half and lay the two pieces on the counter the width of my rolling pin. I just put the dough between the dowels, set my rolling pin on top of the dowels and go!

Hey smart idea.
thanks

I bought what are called O-Rings from my hardware store...they are in the plumbing section and they cost like .30 cents a piece, if that. Just a thought.

I use the wooden dowels and they work ready well.

check this out, it's a long wooden rolling pin with rubber rings that come in the standard thicknesses that you need when making cookies, I bought it; I have yet to use it, but I loved it when I received it at my house

I have those rings and use them when making rolled cookies. I think they work fine but they are expensive. I bet the o-rings would work as well and be a whole lot less expensive!

I bought mine at Kitchens Etc which has since gone out of business (at least around here).

I was going to suggest the same idea of the plumbing rings. I've also heard of using two planks of wood, about 1/4" thick, on either side of your dough. When you roll your pin over it, it can't go thinner than the 1/4" and it is really even too.

thanks for the ideas all
