Why do my slice-and-bake cookie designs get distorted?
You’ve spent hours meticulously crafting your dough. One batch is a deep, rich chocolate; the other, a creamy vanilla. You’ve rolled, stacked, and sliced them into perfect strips, reassembling them into a beautiful, intricate checkerboard log. It’s a work of art. You’re filled with anticipation. You grab your sharpest knife, place the log on your cutting board, and make the first slice.
