Make by dropping spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet.
Use the 2-spoon method – one spoon to scoop up the dough & one spoon to push off the dough.
6
Drop Cookies
Place dough at least 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Make all cookies the same size for even baking.
When baked, cookies should be lightly browned (golden) and slightly mounded.

Are made from a dough that is firm enough to roll out.
Dough must be chilled before rolling.
Roll out only small amounts at a time. Refrigerate the rest of the dough until ready to roll more cookies.
14
Rolled Cookies
Roll dough on a lightly floured surface -- using too much flour yields dry, hard cookies.
Use cookie cutters of many shapes.
These cookies do not spread much, so only a small amount of space between cookies is needed between cookies on the baking sheet.

Can be rolled in colored sugar, cinnamon, nuts or coconut before baking. (Snickerdoodles)

Pressed cookiesalso called spritz cookies
20
Spritz Cookies
Pressed Cookies
21
Uses a stiff rich dough. The dough is packed into a cookie press and
forced through discs of various patterns. These cookies do not spread much, so only a
small amount of space between cookies is needed between cookies on the baking sheet.
Cookies vary in size and shape depending on the disc used.

wrapped in foil or plastic wrap, and chilled.

the refrigerator before baking.

Conventional Mixing Method
28
Shiny pans, such as aluminum reflect heat producing lighter bottom crusts.
Dark baking sheets absorb heat producing darker bottom crusts.
Cookie sheets should be cool when dough is placed on them – warm sheets cause dough to spread.
29
Baking
30
Bake all cookies, except bar cookies, on flat baking pans or cookie sheets.
If pans do have sides, they should be low. High sides on cookie pans create unevenly baked cookies.
Cookies should all be the same size so
they will bake evenly.
31
Baking
Yes No
32
Bake in a preheated oven.
Check cookies at the end of minimum baking time. Bake just long enough so that cookies are lightly browned.
Set the timer.
33
Baking
DO NOT walk away from the oven!
Cookies continue to bake on a hot pan.
34
* 1 minute too long in the oven can ruin all your hard work!
If baking only one pan, the rack should be near the center of the oven.
When baking two sheets at a time, position the racks by dividing the oven space into thirds. Rotate the sheets halfway through the baking time. Doing this helps the cookies to brown evenly.
35
Under-baked cookies are doughy & pale.
Over-baked cookies are dry & hard. They look burned.
Cookies should be just set. When touched, your finger should leave a slight imprint.
36
Do not under-bake or over-bake.
Cookies harden as they cool and may stick to the pan, making them hard to remove.
Parchment paper can help prevent sticking.
Parchment is NOT the same as wax paper!!
37
Baking Cookies
Remove cookies from baking sheet 1 or 2 minutes after they come out of the oven.
Use a wide thin spatula to remove cookies from baking sheets.
38
39
Dough that is too warm.
Baking sheet that is too hot.
Oven temperature that is incorrect.
40
Excessive spreading of cookie dough is caused by:
Cool cookies thoroughly before storing. Store crisp cookies in a container with a
loose fitting cover. Crisp cookies need to remain dry.
Store soft cookies in a container with a tight fitting cover.
Bar cookies can be stored right in the pan, covered with foil.
41
Storing Cookies
Never store soft & crisp cookies together.
