I was wondering what the ingredients would be if I only made 2 dozen cookies. For the sugar cookies and glaze. Because I don’t need to make that many cookies. Thank you!

In reply to Scook. My best advice is to try refrigerating the cookies before baking. So refrigerate the dough, then roll it out and cut out the shapes, then stick the whole cookie sheet with the cookies on it into the fridge. Once they're for sure nice and cold, go ahead and bake them. Hopefully that will help with the spreading. Also, are you using parchment paper or anything? That might help too. Good luck!

Ok. I made thus recipe to the tee. Cookies spread more than I wanted. Then tried without baking soda, once at 350 than 375. Worse than first batch. Original recipe has great flavor, I just would like less spreading when baked?

In reply to Lisa. Yes, you can leave it in the fridge. I've even frozen it and defrosted in the fridge and it's fine. You might have to let it warm up a little at room temperature before rolling it out though.

In reply to anickh. For sugar cookies to decorate, yes, definitely! Although I can't say I've tried many others. Her recipe which I included in this post (with 1 minor adaptation) consistently turns out soft, sturdy, flat cookies that are perfect for decorating and absolutely delicious.

I've never heard of rolling pin rings before. I love making and decorating cookies. I haven't tried your recipes yet although your cookies always look beautiful. However, I saw this awesome, homemade marshmallow fondant on Simple Organized Living's blog and tried it last week. It worked so well. You might want to give it a try.
