COOKIE BAKING SECRETS

by
MyRecipes.com
  1. SPLIT THE DOUGH
    Work with half of the cookie dough at a time when rolling or cutting cookies.  Keep the other half refrigerated.  Chilled dough is easier to handle.
  2. CHOOSE BAKING SHEETS WISELY
    Bake cookies on shiny, heavy aluminum baking sheets without sides so it will be easier to slide cookies onto a cooling rack.
  3. KNOW HOW TO GREASE
    Grease baking sheets with cooking spray or solid shortening instead of butter or margarine.
  4. USE PARCHMENT PAPER
    Parchment paper eliminates the need for greasing baking sheets.  It promotes even browning.
  5. DON'T OVERLOAD THE OVEN
    Bake one sheet of cookies at a time on the middle oven rack.
  6. BE CAREFUL WITH OVERBAKING
    Check cookies for doneness at the minimum baking time.
  7. USE COOLED BAKING SHEETS
    Cool baking sheets between batches before reusing; wipe the surface of each with a paper towel.
  8. COOL BEFORE STORING
    Cool cookies completely before storing them in an airtight containers.
