Baking Tips

Here's Some Tips 

*Use Exact Ingredients when Baking (I'm very guilty of not measuring when cooking but when baking anything MEASURE)

*Check Oven Temperature (If your cake does not bake flat across the top and you get a raised or dome looking top......Your oven is baking at an higher temp than it says. You can purchase an oven thermometer at your local kitchen supply store.)

*Use the Freshest Ingredients

*Use Real Butter (If using margarine make sure it's 70% Veg. Oil)

*Parchment Paper is your BFF (Use for everything from baking cookies to cooling chocolate)

*Don't Over Bake!

*Cooling Time for Cookies 1 min.

*Cooling Time for Cakes 5 min. (Let stand and Cool before doing anything else. This includes moving them to a cooling rack)

*Don't Mix ingredients to hard (Added Incline will toughen mixture)

*Sift Sugar

*Let Cookies stand on cooling rack covered loosely in wax paper for 6-8hrs. DO NOT SEAL for @ least 8hrs. This lets all moisture out or they will Crumble!
