Random Quick Tip!

Cookie Baking Time Saver
If you are going to make alot of cookies this year, remember to mix the dough that needs to be refrigerated the longest first. Then go ahead and mix up and bake the drop and bar cookies first. By the time those are done, the refrigerated dough should be ready for baking. This is what I do when I have about 5 different types of cookies to make in one day.
