How enact I roll out the dough?

Be determined your dough is correctly chilled before rolling.

For folks that plod too thin, you’ll be in a position to find yourself with crunchier cookies that would possibly maybe well procure too toasty with our cooking instances.

Now not all meals colorings and sprinkles are vegan, even if there are quite a bit of on hand now. Make certain to learn the ingredients before buying. For folks that don’t desire to utilize meals coloring, dependable plod with a classic white frosting. For folks that would possibly maybe well’t procure vegan sprinkles, utilize natural wrong sugar, coconut flakes, cocoa nibs, or seeds (similar to chia, hemp, or flax) as an more than a few.
