Cookie baking is one of the holiday season's most fun traditions. To get the most out of your cookie baking, here's a few tips:
* Spatula - To remove the cookies from the sheet, you'll need a spatula. A plastic one will work best and won't scratch your nonstick surface like a metal spatula would.You can use other tools to produce different shapes. For instance, you can use drinking straws to produce eyes for your creepy monsters. Or you can use a small paring knife to make free form shapes. As always, be extra careful using sharp objects around the children.You'll need some basic supplies to bake cookies. Make sure that you have the following on hand:Alex Halevskiy, President of Everest Mouldings of Toronto, Canada knows all about the power of a custom business plan . He says: "Daniel Plechac helped me in so many ways with my business, everything from marketing to planning. But most of all, Daniel wrote the business plan that got the bank financing. It was a crucial step that helped get us where we are today: a thriving business with 15 employees and innovative products that has expanded to the United States."After the wax has cooled somewhat, use your cookie cutters to produce your scary shapes. We like to use quite a variety of shapes and sizes. Try to arrange your shapes to maximize the use of the wax.* Decorations - Sprinkles, nonpareils, candies, kisses, hard candies, cinnamon candies etc. Whatever your recipe calls for or whatever you like, get a bag or two.* Cookie sheets - You'll want to have at least 2 so you can be baking one batch while you are preparing another batch on another sheet.* Mixing bowls - You'll want a set of sturdy mixing bowls. Metal or plastic will work fine. Have at least one small, one medium and a couple larger sized bowls.* Oils - Some recipes call for vegetable oil, canola oil works great.* Sugars - You'll want to have at least 1 bag each of white sugar, brown sugar and powdered sugar.* Mixing devices - Make sure you have several sizes of spoons on hand. You'll want a couple large wood spoons as well as some smaller mixing spoons.* Frosting tools - If you will be decorating your cookies, you might want to pick up a pastry bag as well as several pastry tips so you can make great looking designs with your frosting.Always preheat your oven, it should be one of the first things you do. Also, doublecheck that you have set the right temperature. When placing the dough on the cookie sheets, try to make every cookie a uniform size. You can even use a measuring cup, spoon or ice cream scoop so you can get the same size cookie, this is important for proper and even baking. Keep a close eye on the first batch to test the doneness and adjust the temperature and baking time if needed, as every oven tends to be different. During baking, try and rotate the cookie sheets, turn them around and switch racks for more even cooking. Once one batch of cookies is done and you have removed the cookies from it, let the cookie sheet cool for a minute or two before placing the next batch of dough on it, this keeps the dough from spreading too much due to the heat from the last batch. You'll want to leave the cookies on the baking sheet for a minute or so before removing them to lessen the chance of breakage when you remove them.* Cookie cutters - You should have a set of Christmas themed cookie cutters. Made of metal or plastic, you can find them at any grocery store or even dollar stores.1. A pillar candle.
2. Some �cut and carve� wax.
3. Some wax adhesive.
4. Halloween cookie cutters.
5. A shallow pan.Heat your �cut and carve� wax, and pour it into the shallow pan. Be sure that you fill the pan approximately 1/4 inch., and try to ensure your pan is on a level surface. Allow the wax to cool, but not until it has completely hardened.Lastly, store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.Template-based business plans or those from small-time offshore operators can be "completely useless," says Daniel Plechac of www.businessplanstore.ca because they take a cookie-cutter approach that will most likely fail to impress banks or investors.* Flavorings & Colorings - Many cookie recipes use vanilla extract, get the real kind, not artificially flavored for best taste. For coloring, you'll want this to color your frosting too. You can usually get a set of coloring bottles around the holidays on sale.Ingredients
