BAKING TIPS:

 1.  If you use aluminum foil on top of your cooky sheets, you will not have to grease them!
 
2.  "Ice cream scoops" come in varied sizes and make portioning cooky dough onto cooky sheets a  snap!
3.  Nuts are optional in most baking recipes.  (If you DO leave them out, please let us know so we can tell those amongst our customers who do NOT like them.)
 
4.  Dried cranberries, blueberries, cherries, etc. may be substituted for raisins or other dried fruits to suit your taste.
5.  Unsalted butter is used in all recipes here.  If you do use the salted variety, cut the amount of salt a bit to compensate.
