*BLKLIN

Baking sheets with little or no sides will let your cookies bake evenly and quickly. The sheets should be shiny and clear the sides of the oven at least 2 inches for best circulation of heat and even baking.

*BLKLIN

Cool baking sheets before placing unbaked cookies on them or the heat will melt the shortening in the dough, causing cookies to spread too much during baking.

*BLKLIN

If crisp cookies soften in storage, place them in a 300° oven about 5 minutes.

Keep soft cookies soft by placing a slice of bread in the container.
