How To Make Perfectly Round Cookies
TikTok creator The Subversive Table repurposes a simple kitchen tool — a biscuit cutter — to achieve perfectly round cookies with the ideal texture. Here’s how it works: Right after you pull your cookies out of the oven, place a large biscuit cutter over each cookie and gently swirl it in a circular motion. A few quick spins around the inside of the biscuit cutter will smooth out irregular edges, transforming each cookie (no matter how lopsided) into a uniform circle. The circular motion nudges the edges inward, creating a neater shape without flattening the cookie.
Tip: If you don’t already own a biscuit cutter, you can use a wide-mouth drinking glass, mug, or even Mason jar rings to achieve similar results.
You need to act fast, though. The cookies are only pliable while warm; that’s when the edges are soft enough to mold. Once cooled, they’ll retain that perfect roundness.

Not only does this technique create beautifully formed cookies, but it also results in a satisfying texture. Because you’re not pressing down on the cookie, the interior remains soft and chewy while the edges stay delightfully crisp.
With just a few spins around a biscuit cutter or another round item, you’ll create cookies with a classic homemade taste and a bakery-worthy appearance. Here’s betting your kids, friends, and co-workers alike will be asking for another batch of freshly baked (and perfectly round) cookies soon.
