Hi,
I'm new here and wondering what everyone uses to roll out their cookies with? I only use powdered sugar but it seems all the recipes call for flour.

I like to roll between 2 sheets of wax paper or parchment paper so I dont have extra flour in my cookies. I also have cut out my cookies on the same paper and then removed the scraps and just placed the parchment on the cookie sheet and baked. As for powered sugar well I havnt heard of this method for cookies but maybe some one else can help you

I also roll mine out between wax paper or plastic wrap. Seems to be a lot less messy for me.

I use a mix up equal parts of both... but you can use either one...

I roll out between parchment paper. No flour, no sugar, no mess!

Parchment!! The way to go!! Also rolling out between wax or parchment won't be adding additional flour and in turn, won't change the consistency of your dough! thumbs_up.gif

Parchment paper works the best for me, but I also put it in the freezer on a cookie sheet before cutting. Once the dough is mostly frozen, it's very easy to cut and doesn't lose it's shape when transferred to the cookie sheet. Just peel off one sheet of parchment, place the paper back, the flip it over and peel the other sheet. This loosens the cookie dough so that the cookies don't stick. It can also be re-rolled and frozen again. If I have extra rolled sheets from an order, I just wrap the whole thing with plastic wrap for the next order.

When I get down to just scraps that are not worth rolling out, I over bake them, and grind them into crumbs for sand. That is, if my family doesn't eat them before they make it to the food processor.
