Everytime I want to practice cookie decorating, I hate the dough! It's either too soft and it tears when I roll it or it tastes like cardboard or when they cook, they loose their straight sides and end up puffy. I want straight sides!!! Which recipe do you guys use?? I have a great one with gingerbread, but sugar-type cookies are alluding me. I've tried 4 recipes this month and none were great. Help please!!
The NFSC from this site is fantastic, use almond extract instead of vanilla and they are espeically yummy.
I use a recipe from Wilton that is very similar to the NFSC. 1 cup butter, 1 cup sugar, 1 egg, 1 tsp. vanilla, 2 tsp. baking powder, 3 cups flour. I prefer the chocolate version, which you get by adding 3 ozs. of premelted baking chocolate to the dough. Yummy. And you don't have to chill the dough before rolling it out.
Here is a new recipe I use for my cookies!
