Here are so more simple tips to create your new favorite seasonal cookies:

HOW TO USE COOKIE CUTTERS WITH STORE BOUGHT DOUGH

You need to add flour and roll out your store-bought dough. Most products will have specific tips and instructions on the packaging so before to read them first. Generally, you will need to add All Purpose Flour and chill before baking.

CAN YOU ROLL OUT PREMADE SUGAR COOKIE DOUGH?

The answer is yes. You can easily use store-bought sugar cookie dough to make your own own shaped cookies. To prepare a roll of store-bought refrigerated cookie dough is quite simple. Typically the dough is sold in a roll or in pre-sliced cookie circles or shapes. But, to be able to use the dough to make your own cookie cutter shapes, you will need to add some All Purpose Flour to blend into it. Look on your package because there will most likely be specific instructions. The most popular sugar cookie roll calls for ¼ cup all-purpose flour to be kneaded into the dough. Then, you will need additional flour for your surface and rolling pin.

HOW TO YOU KEEP SUGAR COOKIES FROM SPREADING WHEN BAKING?

Keeping shaped sugar cookies from spreading is important. Once you have rolled your chilled dough and made your desired shapes with cookie cutters, there’s one very important step to take. Add the cookie sheet with your cut cookies on it to your freezer for 10 minutes before baking. Also, make sure to give your cookies space. They will puff up a little during baking but will deflate once they are cooled. So don't be alarmed when you first remove them from the oven.

DO YOU USE COOKIE CUTTER BEFORE OR AFTER?

Before. It's very effective to roll your chilled sugar cookie dough first and then use your cookie cutter. This is due to the warmth that will be created once you start working the dough. It's also recommended to place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 10 minutes though before baking.
