Cookies For The Festive Season



Firstly, I would like to thank my first follower, Loren for her interest in my blog. Feel free to comment on my posts and I had looked at the 'adsense tips' blog that she is following and I think the information there is helpful. Thanks for sharing, Loren.

Nothing beats the smell of freshly baked cookies from the oven in the festive season. Cookies are simple to make. As long as you get the measurements right and oven temperatures right, your cookies are likely to turn out right.

There are basically four types of cookies.
  1. Drop cookies
  2. Pressed cookies
  3. Formed cookies
  4. Rolled cookies

Use tins with low sides for baking cookies. Line the tin with cookie sheet, grease the sheet with a thin layer of oil for easy removal of baked cookies.

The oven is too hot if your cookies brown too quickly. The cookies can turn out raw in the centre and not crisp as a result of the high heat. A moderate oven gives crisp cookies with a good colour. An oven that is too slow gives tough cookies. When the cookies are baked, cool them on a wire tray and store in airtight containers.

I will share some recipes for the four types of cookies in my next posts.
