notes thoughts and hints from the kitchen….parchment paper - a bakers best friend! Cut parchment to fit the bottom of your baking pan (no overlapping edges) and your cookies won’t stick + there’s no need for baking spray or oil. Your tarts and pies won’t ooze all over the oven if you slip a piece of parchment onto a sheet pan before placing your tart/pie on it. Press parchment into the bottom of cake pans and spray oil lightly. You will never have trouble getting your cakes out of the pan. Parchment can be purchased in kitchen shops, on line OR in large quantities at any wholesale house, such as Cash n’ Carry, where bakery and restaurant ingredients are sold. This quantity (500-100 full size sheets) will last you a long time… if you have friends who are cooks and bakers, sharing big packs of parchment is a good idea. If it’s on hand, you’ll find all sorts of uses for it in savory baking and roasting too.
cookie dough - cookie doughs freeze beautifully, so nstead of cutting back on a cookie recipe, consider making the entire recipe, baking what you need and freezing the rest. Saves you time when you feel like baking those cookies again!
