How Do You Shape Cookies Without A Cookie Cutter?
Rolling out dough, cutting them with a cookie cutter and transferring the cookies to a cookie sheet is time-consuming. Here is another way to get uniform, round cookies with less effort. Mix the cookie dough following your recipe. Use a spoon to remove small hunks of cookie dough from the mixing bowl. Remove the dough from the spoon using your hands and roll it into a 1-inch-diameter ball. Place these balls methodically on the cookie sheet. Leave room around each one so that they are not touching. Tear a piece of wax paper that is the size of your cookie sheet and lay it over the balls of cookie dough. Press a glass with a flat bottom over each ball to flatten the dough.
