Introduction

Cookie rolls are a delightful and easy way to enjoy freshly baked cookies with minimal effort. Perfect for when you want homemade treats quickly, these rolls simplify the cookie-baking process.

Ingredients

• Cookie dough (your favorite recipe or store-bought)
• Butter (for greasing)
• Sugar (optional, for sprinkling)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Roll the cookie dough into logs of your desired thickness using your hands or a rolling pin.
2. Step 2: Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and chill them in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.
3. Step 3: Preheat your oven according to your cookie dough recipe or package instructions.
4. Step 4: Slice the chilled dough into even rounds about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
5. Step 5: Lightly grease your baking sheet with butter to prevent sticking, and optionally sprinkle sugar for a sweet crust.

Tips & Variations

• Chill the dough logs overnight for a deeper, more developed taste.
• Use parchment paper on your baking sheet for easier cleanup.

Storage

Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Unbaked cookie dough logs can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month. To reheat, warm cookies briefly in the oven to regain their fresh-baked texture.

FAQs

Can I use any type of cookie dough for this method?

Cookie Rolls Ingredients

• 2 cups cookie dough (homemade or store-bought)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (for greasing)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional, for sprinkling)

Instructions

1. Prepare the dough logs: Take the cookie dough and shape it into uniform logs about 2 inches in diameter. Ensure each log is smooth and compact to hold its shape when sliced.
2. Chill the logs: Wrap the cookie dough logs tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm. Chilling makes the dough easier to slice and helps maintain the shape during baking.
3. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with the softened butter to prevent sticking.
4. Slice the cookie rolls: Once chilled, unwrap the dough logs and slice them into approximately 1/4-inch thick discs. Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each slice for spreading.
5. Optional sugar sprinkle: Lightly sprinkle the tops of the cookie slices with granulated sugar if you desire a sweet, crispy finish.
6. Bake the cookies: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers have set.
7. Cool and serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

• For crispier cookies, slice the logs thinner; for chewier cookies, slice thicker.
• Chilling the dough is essential to prevent spreading during baking.
• You can customize the cookie dough by adding chocolate chips, nuts, or spices before forming logs.
• Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
• Freezing unbaked logs allows for fresh cookies anytime; just slice and bake directly from frozen adding a couple of extra minutes to baking time.
