I've tried the wonderful refrigerator cookie recipes you gave me. The rolls were kind of going wonky when chilling because the dough was soft and going sort of flat. Well, not 'sort of'. Really, really flat. I searched my cookbooks and found the solution. You take a tube from the inside of a paper towel roll and place your wrapped/rolled cookie dough in it to chill and the dough will be mostly round instead of flat on one side. Reasonable idea but there was not one single almost empty paper towel roll in the house. Not one. Bright idea! I went to the bin where I keep gift wrap and stole a cardboard tube from a nearly finished bit of Happy Birthday wrap. Cut it in useful lengths and slipped the wrapped rolls of cookie dough inside. Viola Voila This works fine unless you have a pup who thinks that empty cardboard tubes are for Happy Hour. I had to go get one more, do the mourning moose call and toss it for him to destroy. Priceless. Polly
