The Cookie Bible

















I have decided that cookies are one of my favorite things to bake.  Here is another cookbook from my collection of hundreds!  The Cookie Bible shares helpful information on cookie ingredients, techniques, equipment, troubleshooting and baking substitutions. 

There are over 150 different recipes for you to make, along with information on how to solve cookie baking problems.  Ever wonder why your cookies spread too much during baking?  It could be that your butter was too soft, or that you placed the dough on hot baking sheets.    There are several factors that could cause problems when baking your cookies.  Inaccurate measurements, high humidity, oven hot spots and using less than fresh ingredients could all be the reason why your cookies don't come out as you would like.

You will also learn which cookie sheet is the best when it comes to allowing the heat to circulate evenly and to promote even browing.  There are tips for decorating, storing, freezing and even shipping your cookies.  

The more you know about the fundamentals of baking, the greater the chances are that you will be successful in your finished product.

Happy reading,
Pam
