[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh.  I try a new one every year and they all are a PIA.  The dough is sticky, it must be chilled several hours or overnight, but then it is like a rock and you can’t roll it out.  Once you can sort of roll it out, it sticks to the counter (yes I use flour). I’ve tried rolling on parchment which somewhat helps but then the parchment paper slides all over making it hard to actually roll out.  I don’t know if it is me or if they are just a PIA for everyone but no one will say so.

So…please let me know what I am doing wrong or share your recipe that is actually user friendly and doesn’t make me want to go on a rampage with my rolling pin[/quote]

I'm no baking expert but I chill the dough over night, roll out on a floured counter in very small chunks. I can only cut out 6 or so cookies and then roll out another small chunk. I find breaking it into small pieces more manageable than trying to roll all the dough or a large amount at once. It may not be as efficient and may take longer, but it gets the job done and the cookies turn out great.[/quote]

+1 yes to all, although I've also taped parchment paper to my counter.[/quote]
