Sliced Cookies
Pinwheels, palmiers, and biscotti are just a few of the cookies that are sliced into uniform shape.
Buttery, jam-topped ribbons, spiraled pinwheels, crisp biscotti ― what all of the cookies in this chapter have in common is that they are sliced either before or after baking into uniform shapes. This makes them especially well suited to displaying on a holiday cookie platter or wrapping in pretty packages to give as gifts.
Helpful hints:
• Use a large, sharp knife to slice chilled cookie dough. A sharp, serrated bread knife works well for slicing firm baked cookies such as biscotti.
