Hi, everybody,

 

Happy cookie month! This is my first post and I hope it will be useful for some of you! Today in Germany is the Reunification Day but being italian it mostly means long weekend and some free time for my cookies 

 

So I started early to bake gingerbread cookies using a new recipe from a cookie guru, and I was so disappointed to see that they were spreading and loosing completely the shape.

 

Sad and discouraged, I made my usual sugar recipe and the cookies were ok but I realised that the amount of flour was much more, compared to the other one. But since I had almost all the gingerbread dough, I decided to try to save that perfectly good dough and add flour to equal the proportions. And I must say that the result is great, and I got reasonable cookies to decorate. 

 

So in case you have ever wondered, it's possible to add ingredients to a already made cookie dough! I am attaching a picture of 2 cookies same shape from the 2 batches.

 

Have a great day!

Silvia

Interesting that the more flour-dense cookies spread less (well, it makes sense--but it is nice to see a side-by-side comparison!) Thank you for posting and sharing this tidbit! I will keep it in mind for the future.
