How to Roll out thin cookie dough

Food editor Lillian Chou shares a tip for rolling out extra-thin cookie dough with no mess and no extra flour. Follow along and learn how you can do this too.

-One of the easiest ways to do this is to roll it between parchment.

-Unroll the dough and put between two large sheets of parchment (in the center).

-By doing this you do not need excess flour, which can make cookies dry or tough.

-Roll the dough out until you have the size you need.

-Once it has reached the desired thickness, remove the parchment to make sure the dough is even on all sides.

-Slide the dough and parchment onto a cookie sheet and place it in the freezer until it firms up, usually five or ten minutes.

-Once it is firm enough, you can cut the dough into the shapes you want and bake.
