Help! Sugar Cookie Dough How Long In Fridge?
Decorating By gibson Updated 11 Sep 2005 , 12:39am by butrcup
I have made a batch of no fail sugar cookie dough and my first question is has anyone made this recipe before? It has 6 cups flour, 2 cups butter, 3 tsp baking powder, 2 tsp vanilla or favourite extract, 2 eggs and 2 cups sugar. It says you should chill it for 1 to 2 hours before rolling out, but I have to step out for more than that and am wondering if it is okay to leave it for longer or will it dry out too much?
As long as you have it wrapped tight (no air) it should be fine.. good luck
i have left it overnight.. you'll just have to let it warm up a tad before trying to roll it out.
ive left mine for 2 days and its been fine.. the dough is still good and didnt ruin it.
Thank you! I didn't plan my day very well and was worried it was all going to go to waste! I have already baked them. I like that recipe but am interested in trying new ones! If anyone has a new one or their favourite one they would like to share ....nudge nudge wink wink
butrcup what is your favorite recipe.. Maybe you could post it for us? I am always looking for good sugar cookie recipes..

crimsonhair-
here is the my favorite so far...
1 C Butter 1 tsp soda
1 1/2 C sugar 1 tsp vanila
2 eggs 3 C sifted flour
3 tbsp Milk
Cream butter & sugar. Add eggs and vanila. Sift in the rest of ingredients. chill in refrigerator, bake until very light brown
this recipe is not the best for holding shape-it gets a little "puffy" it seems like so far the ones that hold the shape well seem heavy-I'm just going to keep trying....I have Antonia's recipe chilling right now, her recipe for "no fail" is different than the one I have.
