thanks for doing these instructional videos , you are so helpful! my son wants superhero cookies for his 4th themed b-day, any ideas? thanks elana

Elana, you don't need a cutter for that - just make a template like I do in my Episode 7 - working with templates. You can do any shape you want to do.

Can I use margarine instead of Butter?

[SignatureSweetShoppe]

Only in an emergency. Butter chills much harder than margarine and makes the dough much more manageable when you are rolling it out. Margarine never really gets hard enough when chilled, so the dough will warm up too fast and become unmanageable very quickly.

Does the butter have to be salted?

[SignatureSweetShoppe]

No, it doesn't have to be salted, but if it isn't, you will need to add salt back into the recipe.

hi Jenny! thanks for the help... i made your cookie dough, using exact measurments. After a day in the fridge , i rolled it out (on granite counter) , but by the time i cut out the shapes , the dough is too soft to move or put sticks in. We live in Florida so maybe it is warmer here (my house is 78 degrees) is there anything i can add to the dough to make it sturdier? thakns Elana

These Kitchen Aid things are great! Had mine for 7 years and never had a problem! It beats the plastic stuff you find at Wal-Mart! This is the quality!

Thank you for all of your tutorials. They are so fun to watch. What do I need to put pictures on cookies?

thank you so much, you are so insperational!!!! my son will be 4 next week and he is having a superhero themed birthday and he wants superhero cookies... there are no superhero shaped cookie cutters or anything like that... you are so creative i was wondering if you had any ideas? there are so many beautiful things for little girls but it is difficult getting boys themes to be just as attractive. thanks again for being such a great teacher!!!!

I thought it would be 4 sticks. Each stick should be 4 oz . So 4 sticks would be a pound. Right? When I make this I use 4 sticks
