Dinosaur Sugar Cookies FAQ

If you have questions about these dinosaur sugar cookies, then read on. The following FAQ answers the most commonly asked questions about this recipe.

Can you freeze sugar cookies?

Sugar cookies, shortbread, gingerbread, and other simple cookies freeze incredibly well.

What is the best way to freeze sugar cookies?

Cool your cookies completely, then open-air freeze them in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Place them in an air-tight, freezer-safe container in single layers with parchment paper in between each layer.

Why is my sugar cookie dough crumbly?

Your dough should be somewhat crumbly BEFORE rolling it into balls. If your dough isn’t smooth when you roll it into balls, you probably didn’t add enough liquid.

Why are my sugar cookies overdone?

Soft sugar cookie recipes should be removed from the oven before they’ve finished baking. If you baked your cookies to golden brown in the oven, they’ll be overdone due to carryover cooking time.

You can store these sugar cookies at room temperature in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, you can freeze them as outlined above for up to 6 months.
