Find Your Perfect ONLINE JOB

This baking tip on How to Make a Zillion Cookies in 1 Oven with 2 Cookie Sheets is just what you need if you've recently volunteered to make a large batch of cookies with your small kitchen and minimal equipment. When it comes to baking a lot of cookies, some parchment paper, and some cooling racks are the key to making a lot of batches with a single oven and only a couple of baking sheets. To keep things moving in the kitchen you will need to break one of the most common rules of cookie baking, and that is the one that says always to cool your cookie sheet before putting a new batch of cookies in the oven. It is true that a hot cookie pan will start melting and ruining the first scoops of cookie dough before the rest of the cookie sheet is filled. But if you can put all the shaped cookies onto the cookie sheet at one time and pop it into the oven immediately, you'll be fine. The only thing that changes is that the baking time for the cookies will be shorter by only a minute or so. For your cookie baking strategy, you will want to mix all of the cookie dough ahead of time, this can be done whenever you have time, and then to accumulate the cookie dough in the refrigerator 3 to 4 days, or in the freezer for even longer. If you like, you can shape butter cookie dough into logs to later be sliced and baked or make batches of chocolate chip cookie dough to be shaped with a spoon or scoop. Then on the day, you are going to bake the cookies, position a rack in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven as directed in your cookie recipe.

Typically a cookie recipe is a dessert recipe that is a small, flat, sweet baked treat. Cookie recipes usually contain flour, sugar, eggs, and either cooking oil, butter or another oil or fat. Cookie recipes may also include ingredients such as raisins, oats, chocolate chips or nuts. Cookies can be made at home, mass-produced, or made in small bakeries. Cookie recipe variants include using two thin cookies with a creme filling and then dipped in chocolate or another sweet coating. Cookies can be served with beverages such as tea, coffee or milk. Kids especially like to dip their cookies into a glass of milk. In many other English speaking countries, cookie recipes are called biscuits. Cookies are typically baked until they are crisp or just long enough so that they remain soft, but some kinds of cookies are not baked at all. Some popular cookie recipes include pecan cookies, Italian pizelle cookies, peanut butter cookies, chocolate chip cookies, biscotti, shortbread cookies, brownies, fortune cookie, rum balls, Russian snickerdoodle, sugar cookie, tea biscuit, and wafers.
