So I think I am getting pretty close to my grandmother's cookie recipe (actually, I think they may come pout even better than hers the next time!). I am planning on perfecting it over the next couple of months.

But, the one big problem I have is rolling out the dough. I just suck at it and hate it. I can never get it to an even thickness. I've tried the little things that go on the ends of the rolling pins - they did nothing to help. Does anyone have any other ways of cutting out cookies that either doesn't require rolling out the dough, or makes rolling it out easy? I have tried the sliced roll idea, but again I cant cut straight to save my soul, and the cookies come out as squished ovals.
