Baking Sugar Cookie FAQ
How many cut out cookies can I make from one batch?
Yield will greatly depend on the size of the cookies you are making - but you will get about 3 dozen 3" cookies. You can halve this recipe for a smaller batch.
How do I keep cut out cookies from burning?
Use Mesh Cookie Baking Mats (link) or parchment on your baking sheets to keep your cookies from burning and spreading.
How long do I bake cut out cookies for?
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until cookies have just started to turn golden brown around the edges. For best results bake similar sized cookies on the same cookie sheet.
If I have 2 cookie sheets in the oven at once, I like to swap them halfway through, so they cook more evenly.
Should I turn on convection to bake my cookies?
I don't use my oven on convection as I find it cooks my cookies too fast and sometimes burns them. You may need to experiment with your oven for best results.
Where can I buy unique cookie cutters?
The Cookie Countess online store sells over 200 styles of cookie cutters for Christmas, Halloween, birthdays, baby showers, and more!
How do you store the cookies until you are ready to decorate them?
If you're only storing them for a day or two, an airtight container in the fridge will be fine. Any longer, and I'd recommend freezing them. You can read our blog article about How To Freeze & Defrost Sugar Cookies here.
