Cookies And Bars Recipes

Cookies are one of the simplest and most delicious treats you can make. Here is our collection of favorite recipes and tips to help guarantee your baking success. We’ve seen cookies and bars blitz through people’s will power, nutritional convictions, and diets. Perhaps it’s the perfect ratio of crunch to sweet, outside to inside. And something elemental, too. It’s dessert stripped to the bones. Far enough stripped that it’s good any time of day. Their popularity is also a modern pleasure, something that took off with standardized ovens. Add a little dugh and you’ve got instant satisfaction. No wonder no one can turn them down.

Types Of Cookies

• Bar cookies couldn’t be easier. Mix up some dough, spread it in a pan, then bake, cool, and cut.
• Drop cookies are made by dropping spoonfuls of soft dough onto cookie sheets.
• Molded cookies are made from a stiff dough that is formed into balls, logs, pretzels, or other shapes or baked in individual molds.
• Pressed cookies are made from a stiff dough that is squeezed through a cookie press or pastry bag.
• Refrigerator cookies (also called icebox cookies) begin with a chilled stiff dough that is sliced and baked.
• Rolled cookies are made from a stiff dough that is rolled out into a thin layer, then cut into shapes.

Cookie Sheet Savvy

Good-quality cookie sheets are one of the secrets to perfect cookies. Heavy-gauge metal cookie sheets that have a dull finish turn out the most evenly browned cookies; aluminum is ideal. Double-thick insulated cookie sheets discourage overbaking and are a good investment. Dark cookie sheets can overbrown the bottoms of cookies.

If your cookie sheets are old and discolored, line them with foil. Better still, purchase new ones. The air in your oven should circulate freely around the cookie sheet(s), which should be at least 2 inches smaller in length and width than your oven. Cookie sheets should be rimless (or have only one or two turned-up edges) for the best air circulation.

Grease cookie sheets only when a recipe directs you to. Some cookies have a high fat content, so greasing isn’t necessary. Vegetable shortening is better than butter for greasing cookie sheets because butter sometimes browns as it melts in the oven. Nonstick cookie sheets and silcone nonstick baking liners are good alternatives to greasing and flouring. For an even coat when greasing is required, use a crumpled piece of paper towel. To flour a cookie sheet, sprinkle the greased sheet evenly with a little flour, then tap off the excess. For easy cleanup, line cookie sheets with foil (dull side up). Never place cookie dough on a hot cookie sheet; always let cookie sheets cool between batches. A hot cookie sheet will melt the dough before it has a chance to set. If the recipe calls for greased sheets, regrease for each batch.
