Rolling Out Dough Without the Mess
1
Rather than wait for your cookie dough to chill, take the freshly made dough and place a glob between two sheets of parchment paper.
2
Roll it out to the desired thickness then place the dough and paper on a cookie sheet and pop it into the refrigerator.
3
Continue rolling out your dough between sheets of paper until you have used it all. By the time you are finished, the first batch will be completely chilled and ready to cut.
4
Reroll leftover dough and repeat the process! An added bonus is that you are not adding any additional flour to your cookies.
Using meringue powder as egg substitute
Meringue powder can be reconstituted with water and substituted into a recipe in place of a fresh egg white. All meringue powders will have guidelines for reconstituting the powder on the packaging, but generally 2 teaspoons of meringue powder + 2 tablespoons water = 1 large egg white.
