foreword
Chocolate chip, gingersnap, coconut, butterscotcheveryone has a favourite cookie. For some its sugar cookies, so simple to decorate whatever the season, while others love the icebox kind, complete with memories of grandmothers kitchen. These classic and updated treats from the library of Companys Coming are perfect for bake sales and instant pick-me-ups, and theyre all here in this useful book. It may sound counter-intuitive, but for busy bakers, the freezer is an essential appliance. Mix up an extra batch of dough, double-wrap half and freeze for up to three months to bake later. Well-sealed baked cookies can be frozen for six to eight months. (The exception is macaroons, with a limit of two to three months.) Just make sure that any icing on cookies is completely dry, and that you layer them between waxed paper in an air-tight container. That way, youll never run out of these delicious cookie-jar classics.

topical tips
Cooling cookie sheets: Its a good idea to cool cookie sheets between batches; otherwise recipe times or cookie shapes may be changed by a too-hot cookie sheet. Eliminating food colouring stains: To avoid staining your hands with the food colouring, wear disposable plastic gloves when kneading. Finding good food colouring: Paste food colouring gives a wider variety of vivid colours. It can be purchased at craft or cake decorating stores. Toasting nuts, seeds or coconut: Cooking times will vary for each type of nutso never toast them together. For small amounts, place ingredient in an ungreased shallow frying pan. Heat on medium for three to five minutes, stirring often, until golden. For larger amounts, spread ingredient evenly in an ungreased shallow pan. Bake in 350F (175C) oven for five to 10 minutes, stirring or shaking often, until golden.
