COOKIE TIPS I

To make the best cookies possible don’t skimp on the hardware. Buy heavy weight, shiny, flat aluminum cookie sheets.

Once the oven is preheated, wait at least 15 minutes after it hits the desired temperature before baking your first batch.

When you take the completed pan of cookies out of the oven, close the door and wait a few minutes for the temperature to stabilize before putting in a new pan.

When substituting butter for margarine in recipes, remember that butter will make a crisper cookie, and margarine will make a softer cookie. Which one you choose will determine the final cookie texture.
