Can I use pasta roller for cookie dough?
It works great for pasta, but I wouldn’t use it for cookies. Cookie dough is a different consistency. You don’t want it to be stretchy, because it would make tough cookies, so it would likely tear going through the roller. And second, even the thickest setting on the roller is likely too thin for a rolled cookie.
Why is my pasta roller not working?
If the dough is not getting through the cutters because the rollers can’t get a grip on the dough, you should check the thickness setting. If the dough is not cut all the way through or cut properly and is still sticking together after it has gone through the cutters, try a different thickness setting.
