I tried a new recipe for maple cookies. You chill the dough, roll it out and use cookie cutters. I've had this problem with other similar recipes (for sugar cookies). The dough gets too soft and sticky after I roll it, so i can't lift up the cut out shape without it getting all smooshed.
With these cookies today.......the dough chilled for 4 hrs (the min time required for the dough), and I rolled it out on a large silpat dusted with flour. when i saw the dough was too soft, i put the rolled out dough back in the fridge for about 30 hr and it was still too soft. I baked i sheet of cookies and put the rest of the dough back in the fridge to chill even longer. also, the cookies came out cakier than i would have thought. would have thought they'd be crispy. the recipe i used was from emeril's cookie show. anyone see that?
do i need to let it chill longer? could i have done something wrong when making the dough? can over mixing cause this to happen? i bake a lot and usually have great success. but, I do have problems with cut-out cookies.
any advice, tips or sypmathy would be greatly appreciated.
TIA. (thanks in advance)
