Cookies 101

  • Before beginning your Halloween baking, familiarize yourself with the cookie basics. Always read the recipe carefully for special ingredients, what equipment is needed, required chilling times, and to familiarize yourself with any new preparation methods.
  • When baking cookies, make sure you have selected the correct measuring cups, particularly for liquids or dry ingredients. This makes a big difference in the end product.
  • Collect all ingredients before you start to prepare the recipe. Once collected, check the expiration date on each ingredient, especially baking powder or soda, as old leavening will make for flat cookies—and dissatisfied ghouls!
  • For a simple Halloween cookie, use cookie cutters to cut refrigerated sugar cookie dough into fun Halloween shapes. Be sure the dough is well chilled before rolling and cutting. A thin spatula is a helpful tool in transferring unbaked cookies from your work surface to the baking sheet. For added color and sweetness, top your cookie dough characters with colored sugar before baking as directed.
  • To avoid burning your spooky treats, peek in on them at the lower end of the baking time specified in the recipe. Look for signs of doneness detailed in the recipe—different types of cookies will look different when baked through. After you remove the cookies from the oven, remember to cool them completely before decorating.
  • If you're planning to take treats to a school Halloween party, first check the school's policy on serving homemade.
