Reply to "Rough Cookie Texture on Top"

I too was searching for an answer to this problem! I started having alligator looking surfaces. I went back as Halloween was over and I was not so stressed and rushed, I read and reread my recipes and tried some different ones, but I did not like the consistency or taste. I went back to my favorite which is Sugarbelles Vanilla Almond and being a retired teacher broke down the instructions line for line and as said to you by someone earlier but not emphasized enough CREAM your butter extremely well. I used both sugars but have MUCH better cookies if I use powdered or confectioners sugar. I creamed my sugar-butter for 5 minutes at least! Guess its a chemical thing. Then in her instructions on her recipe she states INCORPORATE WELL the butter combination with your egg and emulsions here was the hidden word not just combine INCORPORATE! I had started to rush I was so busy and in a hurry during the Halloween holiday! SO I did that as she directed and guess what!!! My cookies are smooth as silk! Absolutely beautiful they look just like Sugarbelles in her Blog Photo! I then proceeded to bake 5 more dozen just in case it was a "fluke" ? Every single cookie was magazine perfect and if I knew how to post a picture here I would?

So just remember do not do what I did I would hurry my ingredients in baking prep and spend hours on my decorating. Since I beat the "HECK" out of my butter and then my egg and butter together NO MORE ALLIGATOR skin on my cookies? Wish it worked on my wrinkles on my face that well? LOL Good Luck to you hope it works as well for you as it has for me! Happy Holiday Cookie Baking!
