1 Read Recipe Carefully! Every word of it. And do be sure to see if there’s anything to be done before you start mixing ... like chopping nuts or melting chocolate.
2 Look at the Pictures! They give you “know how” you need for every step.
3 Turn on the Heat! If the cookies are to be baked immediately after mixing, see that the oven is heated to correct temperature.
4 Get Your Ingredients Together! Saves time and steps to have them all in one place.
5 Collect Utensils, Too! Gather together all you’ll need ... from the flour sifter to the baking pan.
6 Measure as Exactly as a Druggist follows a doctor’s prescription! Two minutes spent measuring carefully may save you hours of grief.
Use squares of paper when sifting, measuring, etc.
Use straight-edged knife for “leveling off.”
