Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Cornstarch gives cookie dough structure while ensuring that the cookies are extra light and tender.
  • tip 2
    Be sure the cookies are still warm when rolled in the sugar mixture. The butter in the cookies is still soft, and helps the sugar stick to the cookie.
