| Rolling Cooking Dough |
| Instead of adding flour to the dough by flouring the rolling
pin, chill the rolling pin in the freezer and the dough will not
stick. |
| Cookie Placement |
| Making cookies and need some cooking tips? Place cookies
about 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet, unless it is stated
differently in the recipe. Here are some examples of top quality
bake ware for best results. |
| Crisp Cookies |
| To keep cookies crisp, store in a container with a loose
fitting lid. Great Cooking Tip: If they lose their crispness,
bake at 300 degrees for about 5 minutes. |
| Freezing Cookie Dough |
| Shape Refrigerator Cookie dough into rolls, wrap with heavy
duty aluminum foil, seal and freeze. On baking day slice
immediately or thaw slightly in the refrigerator for easy
slicing. |
| Sticky Cookie Dough |
| Chill cookie dough before using. It makes it much easier to
use. |
| Refrigerator Cookies |
| More cooking tips: All ingredients should be at room
temperature. Mix dry ingredients into creamed mixture thoroughly
or the dough will be crumbly. Chill dough if it is too soft to
shape. |
| Low on Cookie Sheets? |
| If you need an extra cookie sheet, invert and use the bottom
of a large cake or jelly roll pan. (Don't use the inside because
that will prevent browning of the cookies.) Better to use top
quality bake ware for best results. |
| Grease the Pan |
| When the cookie recipe calls for cubed margarine or butter,
save the wrappers to lightly grease the cookie sheets for the
first batch. You won't need to grease them again, and the
leftover butter on the wrappers will be just enough. |
| Best Pans |
| Use shiny baking sheets for cookies. Dark sheets absorb heat
readily and cookies may burn on the bottom. Here are some
examples of top quality bake ware for best results. |
