BAKING TIPS for AprilMeasure ingredients accurately, using the appropriate measuring tools and techniques. Use heavy-gauge dull aluminum
baking sheets with one or two low sides. When a recipe calls for
greased baking sheets, use shortening or nonstick cooking spray. Dark
finishes may cause the cookies to become overly browned.
For even baking, make cookies the same
size and thickness unless the recipe states otherwise. Place
cookiedough 2 to 3 inches apart on a cool baking sheet.
