Baking tips:
Use only pure cane sugar. I use C & H brand. If the sugar label says 'pure granulated' it is beet sugar.
If the recipe calls for butter, do not use margerine.
Do not use 'lite' or 'diet' margerine. Cookies will not hold their shape.
Have ALL ingredients at room temperature.
Be sure that baking powder, baking soda or yeast is fresh.
If baking several batches at a time, watch to see that cookies do not overbake. Some ovens overheat when they are on for an extended period.
Do not bake in lower part of oven.
I bake only one cookie sheet at a time. This takes longer, but the results are worth the extra effort.
