Pleeeze help! I just put together a quadrupled batch of sugar cookie dough to make Christmas cookies for decorating.
I inadvertently added double the milk (Martha Stewart's recipe, wa supposed to be 1/2 c. but I added 1 c.). It's way too wet. How do I go back and remedy my calamity??
I have put 1/4 of it in a cake pan to cook as bars. But this is not was I was hoping to do.
Thanks, gang!!

The result was a softer, cake-y round cookie that was suitable for decorating after baking with holiday-colored icings and sprinkles and sugars and dragees and jimmies. If you don't mind not having stars and bells and angels and Rudolphs and Santas, I'd just make the dropped rounds and decorate them like ornaments. If you want something simpler but equally festive, roll the dough into balls, then roll in colored sugar before baking.
If you think the cookies taste bland, boost the flavor either by adding a teeny bit of extra vanilla, or some almond extract, or some finely zested lemon or lime or orange peel to the dough/batter, or by adding extra flavor to the frosting.
Thanks!
