Linda, I have been making cut out cookies for over 30 years and I never refrigerate the dough first. When I am baking I don't always have time to wait an hour or more to chill anything. Same thing when I am making pies I never chill the pastry first but I know people that always do. My cookies and pies always seem to turn out nicely without chilling so I just keep doing what I have always done. HTH

Subject: [CnD] Question about cut out cookies...

Hello Everyone:

Can someone please tell me why it's necessary to refrigerate cut out cookies before rolling out and baking?

I've been making sugar and ginger bread cut out cookies for Christmas for years, and I've always followed the directions and refrigerated the dough overnight before rolling out and baking...I was just curious as to the reason why this is necessary.

thanks,

Linda
