How to Roll Out Cookie Dough

[Instructor] Rolling out cookie dough.

Start rolling out cookie dough

by working on a lightly floured piece of parchment paper.

Unwrap the dough, which should be straight from the fridge,

nice and well-chilled.

Lightly flour the rolling pin, and begin rolling

by pressing down firmly and evenly.

Turn the paper, and continue rolling,

sprinkling your dough and your rolling pin with flour

if you need to,

to keep the tools from sticking to one another.

Don't let the cookie dough sit out for very long.

If it starts seeming too soft,

put it back in the fridge to firm up a little bit.

Ultimately, the dough should be

uniform thickness of about a quarter of an inch.

Once the dough is completely rolled out,

place it on a cookie sheet

and put it in the refrigerator to chill

for about an hour before cutting.
