Tuesday's Tips & Tricks: Stop Burning the Cookies


Cookies can go from almost done to burnt, in a flash.  Carryover cooking can help prevent a cookie disaster.  When I would bake cookies with my mom, she would always remove the cookies from the oven just before they were done.  Then she would leave them on the hot baking sheet to cool, before transferring them to a wire rack.  The heat from the pan would continue to bake the cookies.  This also allowed the baking sheet to cool, helping to reduce the chance that the next batch of cookies would burn.

I still use that tip from my mom when I bake cookies.  But, I also use insulated baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats, to help guarantee perfect cookies every time.

Tuesday's Tips & Tricks: Mailing Cookies


When my son was in college, I mailed him a lot of cookies!  His favorite, is my oatmeal cookie.  I tried several different ways to mail the cookies.  I finally settled on mailing the cookies in microwave plain flavor popcorn.  They protected the cookies without adding changing or add other flavors to the them. 


Make sure you wrap your cookies in plastic wrap or put them in a cookie tin first.  Then settle them in the middle of the popcorn, completely covering the cookies on all sides.

How do you mail your cookies?

Check back on Friday, for my
