Refrigerate the dough
When deadlines are running out and you decide to whip up some cookies in the oven, the main thing is to remain calm and take your time. One of the most important mistakes even experienced housewives- work with hot dough.
By pre-chilling the dough, you will solve several problems at once: there will be no difficulties with rolling, it will be easy for you to cut out cookies using molds, and no bubbles will appear when baking the products. First of all, this life hack concerns shortbread dough - keep this in mind if you are planning to quickly bake simple shortbread cookies in a hurry.
Not with your hands alone
It’s hard to imagine simple homemade cookie recipes for which you don’t need any additional tools or cooking utensils. Even for the most quick recipes you will need additional “helpers” that should not be neglected.
These definitely include parchment paper, a good baking sheet, a rolling pin and a piping bag if you are baking cookies with icing. It is best to always have such devices in your kitchen, just in case. Having a blender or special molds will greatly expand your possibilities for that unpredictable time when you decide to treat yourself to fragrant homemade cookies from the oven.
Choose quality ingredients
Our kitchen cabinets are usually full of ingredients with a long shelf life: flour, herbs, spices, baking powder and others that are so easy to forget about checking. Remember that stale ingredients won't do your liver any good and won't make them any better.
The same applies to the basic components of any baked goods: butter, milk, syrups, chocolate, eggs must be of high quality and fresh for your dish to turn out perfect. In other words, margarine and the cheapest chocolate are unlikely to produce a decent homemade cookies.
And if you're trying to eat healthy, don't skimp on healthier alternatives familiar products: it could be Brown sugar instead of white or, say, alternative flour instead of white wheat.
Don't roll out the dough for too long
Hardly for those who are in search perfect recipe To make delicious cookies in a hurry, you might think of taking too long to roll out the dough. However, we warn you: such a decision will not lead to anything good.

So, by the way, even scraps from the dough do not need to be rolled out more than once. Leftovers that have already been rolled out several times are by no means suitable for good baking.
