How to make perfect cookies and baking tips!
 

Baking Tips

  1. Did you know that butter can last up to 9 months in the freezer?
  2. In the refrigerator apples last up to 3 weeks, cheese 3 to 6 months, eggs 3 weeks, milk 4 days, and raisons 18 months.
  3. Egg whites need to be room temperature for greater volume when whipped.
  4. To freeze eggs: Spray ice cube trays with oil. Beat eggs and add 3/4 teaspoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt for every 1/2 dozen. Pour into ice cube trays and freeze until firm. Store in airtight containers in the freezer. One cube equals one egg.

Tips for Perfect Cookies

  1. Rolled cookie dough is much easier to handle after it has been refrigerated for 10 to 30 minutes. This keeps the dough from sticking even though it may be soft. If not done, the soft dough will require more flour to prevent sticking.
  2. Too much flour makes cookies hard and brittle. When rolling, take out only as much dough as can be easily managed on a lightly floured board. Flour the rolling pin slightly and roll lightly to desired thickness.
  3. Cut shapes close together and keep all trimmings for the last. Place pans or sheets in the upper third of oven. Watch the cookies carefully while baking to avoid burning edges.
  4. When sprinkling sugar on cookies, try putting it in a shaker such as a salt shaker to save time. ( Kids really love to do this!)
  5. I always use real butter when baking cookies.
