- When preheating the oven, always wait for ten minutes
after the light indicates it is ready, to ensure even heat before baking.
When the light indicates the oven is ready, it is only actually hot
enough at the site of the thermostat, the back bottom of the oven.
Baking too soon will result in cookies that are too dark or burnt on
the base before they are cooked through.
- Use parchment paper to bake;
this eliminates the need for greasing the pans, always results in more
even cooking than baking sheets alone and cleanup is a snap!
- Ensure
baking pans are not too dark; when a pan has been used over a number
of years and its surface has become dark, it will cause cookies to
burn on the bottom.
- If using a convection oven, reduce temperature
by 25 degrees F.
- For the holidays, why not add a personal touch
to your shortbread cookies?
Roll out dough to 1 cm. thickness and
cut into seasonal shapes Before baking, top with candied cherries,
ginger, raisins or any dried berry.
OR After baking(when still warm),
chop up & melt
your favourite chocolate bar right on top
OR Cool, then ice with frosting
or melted cholcolate and “glue” candy
decorations onto them.
