Here's The Scoop
Review these helpful hints before you bake your next batch of delicious, homemade cookies.

• If cookie dough is dry and crumbly, simply stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons milk.
• Stir in the last additions of ingredients by hand to prevent stiff cookie dough from straining a portable mixer.
• If cookies spread too much during baking, the dough may be too soft. Chill dough well before baking, and cool hot baking sheets completely before reusing them.
• Use a small ice-cream scoop to drop dough onto baking sheets.
• Grease baking sheets with solid shortening or coat lightly with vegetable cooking spray.
• Keep an eye on the first batch of cookies placed in the oven. Be sure to check for doneness after the minimum baking time.
