Expert Answer

Cookie cutters are a great way to cut your crust into letters! If you don't have those, get a very sharp knife and lightly outline your letters (you can use a toothpick as well). Once you have the letters how you like, score your lines with the sharp knife (gently, so you don't pull the dough) over and over until they're cut. You can use the blade of your knife to lift the dough off your work surface.

Question

For cutting up the butter, can I use a hand mixer?

Community Answer

Using a hand mixer will probably over work your dough and make it more dry and crumbly. Using a pastry cutter or a knife is the best method.

Press a fork down onto it. It provides a simple uniformity that looks very professional even though there is minimal effort.
