It’s hard to remember a time when we weren’t stuck at home spending countless hours on our phones, but at least we get to see many creative people sharing their knowledge and skills on TikTok and other social platforms. This latest TikTok lifehack is related to baking and it’s very simple to do. It will help you get perfectly round cookies, and you’ll be shocked you even managed to do it.

So if you’ve been wanting to elevate your baking projects to a new level, even if it’s just for better Instagram photos, we’ve got you covered!

How It’s Done

First, let’s say that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with imperfect cookies. Home-baked goods are perfect as they are, but sometimes we just want them in perfect circles. Making your cookies look proportionate is great if you’re baking them as a gift or for a school bake sale, for example. TikTok user Geneva Hodges shared her secret that you can copy.

In her TikTok video, Hodges says that “nothing in life is perfect, but you can definitely fake it.” She swirls a cookie cutter around each of the cookies before they go in the oven, and you can see exactly how she does it in the video below. You’ll want to make a batch after seeing it!
