NEWSLETTER December 2003: The Holiday Season is upon us, and we all tend to get a little bit "frazzled" with all the things that have to be done. I have found an excellent article that has already helped me with my Holiday baking and I think you'll want to not only read the article, but print it and keep it in your recipe book for future reference!! Quick And Easy Ways To Store Cookies By S. Denise Hoyle Whether baking cookies for the Holidays, family reunions, or for bake sales, it is sometimes more convenient to "bake ahead" rather than feel the stress and pressure of trying to get it all done the day before the big event. We will give you a variety of ways you can get all your cookies made stress-free!! When cookies are stored, make sure soft cookies remain soft, crisp cookies keep crisp. The two types cannot be stored together! Store soft cookies in a container with a tight cover. Bar cookies may be stored right in the baking pan, tightly covered. Tuck in an apple wedge if they begin drying out. Crisp cookies should be stored in a container with a loose-fitting cover. If they soften - as they tend to do in humid weather, pop them in a pre-heated 300 degree over for five minutes before serving. Most cookies freeze well, either baked or unbaked, but freezing the dough is considered simpler and requires less freezer space. You can get more cookies "made" if you just make the cookie dough for several different kinds of cookies today and stick them in the freezer. You can then more easily bring out one batch at a time to bake while you're doing other household chores. BAKED COOKIES: Bake as usual, cool quickly and freeze before packaging. Pack in frozen food containers, separating layers with a double thickness of freezer paper, overwrap the container;label and freeze. To serve, thaw cookies at room temperature 10 to 15 minutes. ROLLED COOKIE DOUGH: Roll out and cut the dough into shapes. Stack the cut-outs in cartons with a double thickness of freezer paper between the layers. Over-wrap the carton, label and freeze. Bake without thawing. UNROLLED COOKIE DOUGH: Form the dough into long rolls, wrap in freezer paper and freeze. Thaw just enough to be able to cut into thin slices. Bake on greased baking pan. DROP COOKIE DOUGH: Drop dough on baking sheet as if you were going to bake the cookies. Freeze the cookies on the sheet, then pack the frozen drops of dough in cartons with a double thickness of freezer paper between the layers. To bake, place the frozen drops on greased baking sheets and bake without thawing. BAR COOKIES: Freeze dough in baking pan. Go straight from the freezer to the oven, without thawing, and bake as usual. MOLDED OR PRESSED COOKIES: Freeze the dough in an airtight container after labeling. When ready to bake, thaw dough until it is soft enough to form the cookies. This method of making your family favorites ahead of time on a day that you have a little extra time, will certainly be worth the extra effort. Not only during Holidays or big events, these "made ahead" cookies are great for desserts for drop-in company, treats for the children after school, etc. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ S.
