Butter cookies rise and become thick?

kittycat0809Bykittycat0809

Hello, since Christmas is coming soon, I have a question about my butter cookies. They rose really strangely last year, even though I didn't use baking powder. I rolled them out nice and thin, and they came out really greasy and bumpy. What could be causing this? I prefer thin, crispy cookies.

If you want them to be nice and thin and crispy, use powdered sugar instead of table sugar and let your dough rest in the fridge for three days.

This does not completely prevent bubbles, but it does reduce the proportion to a large extent.

Well, because of the fat (butter) that's incorporated, the steam stays in the dough longer and makes it rise…

Just find out what makes dough rise:

Then you will have something in the dough that makes the cookies rise.
