Cookie Making Tips
Vanilla

Use pure vanilla extract not artificial flavorings as they simply don’t compare in flavor. The difference is worth the price, especially when, if stored correctly the extract can last several months.


Cookie Making Tips
Keep Cookies from Sticking

To keep cookies from sticking, apply a little oil with a pastry brush to your baking sheets. You can apply some shortening using a paper towel as applicator as well.
