Cookies will not hold their shape?
- Common Complaint - I've tried two recipes now for sugar cookies, and both ends up with the nice cute little cutout shapes losing all form and expanding into blobs with little shape. The snowmen and the Christmas trees would be so cute to decorate too.
If you have this issue your recipe most likely has the wrong ratio of Butter to Flour.
Try the NO FAIL sugar recipe on my site.
Also try rolling out the cookies then putting them and the cookie sheet in the freezer for about 10 to 15 minutes - this will help them hold their shape.
Also do not use Cake Flour - use all purpose flour - this will also help.
Also using crisco instead of butter will help as well - or use half and half crisco/butter.
