The Sugar Roll

ROLL YOUR SLICE-AND-BAKE AND DROP COOKIES IN THE

FOLLOWING SUGARS TO GIVE THEM SOME HOLIDAY FLARE

THE SUGARS

Sparkling Sugar: For drop cookies that sparkle—literally—roll

them in sparkling sugar. This glistening coating works best on

mild, buttery recipes, like sugar cookies, or along the edges of

slice-and-bake cookies.

Turbinado and Demerara Sugars: Off ering plenty of shine

and crunch like sparkling sugar, turbinado sugar and demerara

sugar are large, raw sugar crystals that will give a slight

caramel tinge and fl avor to your cookies. We recommend

using them with your more strongly fl avored dough, like

spiced or chocolate cookies.

Flavored Sugars: Imparting a hint of extra fl avor, try coating

your cookies in a scented sugar, like Heilala Vanilla Sugar or a

homemade citrus sugar fl avored with orange zest.

THE METHOD

Drop Cookies: Place about ¼ cup (50 grams) desired sugar

into a small bowl. Roll your cookie dough into balls, and roll

balls in sugar to coat. Add more sugar to bowl if necessary.

Slice-and-Bake Cookies: Place parchment paper on a cutting

board, and sprinkle about ½ cup (100 grams) desired sugar

onto parchment. After shaping cookie dough into a log, roll

dough log on sugar-covered parchment, fi rmly pressing

so sugar adheres to surface. Add more sugar to surface if

necessary.
