Make sure to preheat the oven.
If you put your baked goods in a cold one, the cooking time will be
incorrect, and the unreliable temperature will make your cake drier and
can change its form.
Manipulating pastry dough
You can manipulate pastry
dough easily when it’s chilled. Leave in the refrigerator for about 40
minutes before rolling it out.
Garnish for desserts
To add a special finishing
touch to desserts, garnish with an ingredient used, such as lemon slices
on a lemon pie, peanuts on a peanut butter pie, or chocolate curls on a
chocolate pie or cake

Softer cookies
For softer cookies, add 2
tablespoons of applesauce (unsweetened) to the egg mixture.

To avoid crisp cookies from
softening, store them separately from soft ones.
