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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Optional sugar sprinkle: Lightly sprinkle the tops of the cookie slices with granulated sugar if you desire a sweet, crispy finish.
- 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.
- 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.
