These cookies usually take on a round appearance once they are baked. Two examples peanut butter cookies and rosemaries. The batter is mixed and rolled out thinly. Shapes are then cut in the dough, usually by a specially shaped cookie cutter. The dough is stiff to allow it to be rolled with a rolling pin and maintain it s form once it s cut.
Some examples are sugar cookies and gingerbread cookies.
All cookie baking requires some basic tools. Mixing bowls, cookie sheets, some sort of mixing implement such as a spoon or electric mixer, and measuring spoons and cups are all required. Some specialized tools are needed when making certain cookies such as a rolling pin, molds, cookie cutters, decorating tools, and in some cases pans and a stove top to melt or cook ingredients before mixing them into the dough. All of these tools can be found in a store specializing in kitchen products and can be very affordable. It is very important to get proper quality baking supplies because one small defect can ruin an entire batch of cookies.
