Did you know that baking cookies helps relieve your stress,
boosts your spirit and keeps you in touch with your
families and close friends?
It is just one way of reminiscing the great time you had
with your family.
Cookies fill a lot of needs in a family. As one of the
many simple things, baking cookies is more than what we
imagine. And truthfully, there are a lot of ways to speak
that language besides baking cookies. Cookies are baked by
someone for someone to enjoy. Cookies on a plate with
pretty napkins and a cup of cocoa offer a warm welcome when
your husband gets home from work, or a neighbor drops by.
Cookies are one of the quickest and comforting things to
bake. You have to learn how to bake the perfect cookies and
design them like a pro. Just like cookies, to make the
perfect batch you have to follow a recipe and measure each
ingredient.
Of course you can improvise a little bit, but each slight
variation changes the outcome of the cookies and can take a
great recipe and make it mediocre, or a decent recipe and
make it great.
Cookies are classified into five different groups: shaped,
refrigerated, pressed, rolled and dropped.
For example, shaped cookies are a little more fancy than
other cookies and use a pastry bag or cookie press. Cookies
decorated with cookie paint, colored sugar or sprinkles can
also be stacked and stored easily.
Chocolate chip, oatmeal, snickerdoodles, peanut butter,
cut-out sugar cookies, chocolate drops, peppernuts - it
doesn't matter if they are made from a gourmet recipe or
one taken from the side of a box, as long as they smell
delicious and taste better than they smell.
Most kids like to help bake cookies. Some children's
attention begins to wane once cookies are in the oven; this
is a transparent attempt to get out of helping with the
clean-up. Decorating cookies is an adventure in itself.
And few children will complain if you insist on eating
their cookie artwork.
Most people seem to think of budgeting as baking cookies
without sugar or chocolate chips. A budget is no
different, if you don't have money budgeted for areas like
going to the movies, vacation, buying clothes, or even
"blow money" then IT IS like baking cookies without
chocolate chips or sugar. If you invent a cookie that
doesn't have sugar or chocolate chips I am telling you
budgets are not supposed to be a hassle.
An easy way to incorporate your ancestry into holiday
festivities is to bake cookies from your countries of
origin.
I can trace my interest in cooking and baking back to
baking cookies with my family, particularly my mom, for the
holidays.
