CookieWorks

A lot of you like to see what I make with my cookies. What you may not know is that I actually take online lessons to help learn skills and try techniques that I might not otherwise be brave enough to attempt. This month’s rolled buttercream class was a lot of fun to play with. I think that it’s going to be something I use in the future with my granddaughter because it is so much like playdough.

Things I learned:
➡️ The paddle was great to start with, and then switching to the dough hook attachment when it got thick made mixing it so much less strain on my KitchenAid mixer.
➡️ Wearing gloves is critical if you don’t want to look like a serial killer at church the next day.
➡️ When it starts to get sticky, throw it back in the freezer/fridge. I made the mistake (even though she told us not to do this) of adding more powdered sugar to the buttercream in hopes of making it stiffer.

Overall, it is a fantastic option for creating some out of the box ideas with cookies!
