Each spritz cookie looks absolutely identical to its neighbor, each cutout is cute and crisp and every macaron looks like it came straight from a patisserie. Drop cookies<\/a>, however, tend to look a bit more informal.\r\n\r\nThere's nothing wrong with the homey look of drop cookies. So some are a bit more oblong and some are a bit misshapen? For everyday snacking out of the cookie jar<\/a>, these charming asymmetrical cookies make a wonderful treat. That being said, you can add a bit of polish to drop cookies like chocolate chip cookies, gingersnaps, oatmeal cookies and cowboy cookies<\/a>. With one quick trick, you can turn them into perfectly round cookies that look like they came from your favorite bakery.\r\n

How to Turn Drop Cookies into Perfect Round Cookies<\/h2>\r\n\"Round\r\n\r\nTo transform everyday bakes like these big and buttery chocolate chip cookies<\/a> into professional-looking treats, all you need is one tool: a large biscuit cutter<\/a>.\r\n\r\nSo how do you use this tool to shape your cookies into a perfect circle? As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, place the cutter around each cookie (the biscuit cutter should be larger than the cookie) and give the cookie inside a spin. This quick swirl will help smooth any uneven edges.\r\n
