THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN MAKING COOKIES

Always grease the baking sheets with unsalted shortening.

If using only one rack when baking cookies, place it in the centre of the oven; if using two
racks, divide the oven into thirds. To allow for proper circulation of heat, there should be at
least 2” of rack showing around the edges of each baking sheet. If using two racks, never place

one sheet directly under the other.

If a recipe gives an approximate baking time, such as 12 to 15 minutes, check the cookies at

the minimum time to avoid overbaking.

Always cool cookies on a rack.

Store crisp cookies in loosely covered containers; soft cookies in air-tight ones.

DROP COOKIES

Place drop cookies about 2” apart on the greased baking sheets to allow for spreading.
