I really like making sugar cookies with the kids. What I HATE is the huge flour mess afterward from rolling them out! WELL, I found the easiest way to roll out sugar cookies with NO MESS! And it really works!
Check out my favorite recipe for Granny B’s Copycat Sugar Cookes, then when it comes to rolling them out, follow the video tutorial below. And if you don’t want spreadable frosting, try this easy royal icing recipe that doesn’t require egg whites or meringue powder. Enjoy! Now you truly can!

Is this the same recipe you used on the Christmas tree cookies? do they keep their shape when cooking? I’m trying to find a good sugar cookie recipe for cut outs but I don’t want them to taste like biscuits with all the flour lol. Thanks!
Yes it’s the same recipe and I like it a lot. But they are a bit dry compared to drop cookies because of the frosting used for them.
This tip to roll out sugar cookies DOES NOT work with the cookie recipe above. The recipe above is VERY sticky and would need TONS of flour to roll out.
Colleen are you sure you are using parchment paper and not wax paper? I have never had anything stick to parchment paper. Also, did you refrigerate the dough first?
Yes, I was using parchment paper, and the dough had been refrigerated overnight. And after re-reading the recipe above, it does say that the dough is very sticky and you’ll need TONS of flour to roll out the dough. So, I’m confused as to why it would work with just parchment paper?
The recipe for that dough was written way before I did the tutorial on how to use parchment paper to roll out sugar cookie dough. That’s why it says you need tons of flour to roll it out. But it worked for me to use parchment paper instead of the TON of flour. Maybe you live in a more humid place than I do. Try adding a 1/4 cup more flour to the dough next time and see if that helps. Sorry about your troubles.
