If you don't put shortening in cookies then they will not rise and they will be flat and tough.
It shouldn't. Substituting margarine for butter in cookie dough should work just fine.
With refrigerator cookies the dough is formed into a roll and chilled in the refrigerator usually overnight. The dough is then sliced into rounds and baked.
seriously? ok, roll out dough. press down with cookie cutter. take cookie cutter away. done!
To effectively use a cookie cutter to create perfectly shaped cookies, first roll out your cookie dough to a consistent thickness. Then press the cookie cutter firmly into the dough and carefully lift it out. Place the cut-out dough onto a baking sheet and repeat the process until all the dough is used. Bake according to the recipe instructions for best results.
First open up the whole cookie. then take out the chocolate chips. after that roll the dough in a square or circle and put it in the oven.
To make perfect cookies using a roll of cookie dough, follow the instructions on the packaging carefully. Preheat the oven to the specified temperature, slice the dough into even pieces, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for the recommended time, checking for doneness towards the end. Allow the cookies to cool before enjoying.
When you are making the dough, mix the mint chips in with the dough, then roll it into little balls and place them spaced a couple inches away from each cookie on a cookie sheet, or very shallow pan. Then put them in the oven for (?) minutes at (?) degrees fahrenhite.

No, but how long you chill it will depend on if you want to roll them and cut shapes, or if you just want to make them into balls.
A cookie press is not essential to making cookies, even if specified by the recipe; the cookie press simply compresses the dough and forces it through a hole designed to create various cookie shapes. You could simply roll out the dough (another way of compressing it) and cut or stamp into shapes as required, using a knife or cookie cutter. Cookie molds are also available, to shape dough or as ovenware to cook dough in various shapes.
Dough that is thick enough to be rolled and shaped by hand is commonly referred to as "stiff dough" or "firm dough." This type of dough typically has a lower moisture content, allowing it to hold its shape during the rolling and shaping process. Examples include cookie dough and pasta dough, which can be manipulated without sticking excessively.
Have you tried putting the dough in the fridge for an hour or so? or freezer for a shorter time! If you want to make round normal type of cookies an easy way to do it is to roll your dough in a long circular roll and wrap it in wax paper. put it into the freezer. When it is set for a little, take it out and slice them into whatever thickness you like and place on cookie sheet. you can even save the dough like this for future when you want more cookies! :)
