Depends on what you are drying.

When I dry onion tops, celery, bell peppers, etc, I just spread the chopped item on my racks and dry them. ( I use a great home made dehydrator )

If you want to dry things like strawberries, banana's, apricots, etc., you can rinse the fruit in lemon juice to preserve their color. I could care less if my apricots turn a little brown, so I do not bother.

How you store it after drying, is also a factor. Herbs I keep in jars in the pantry. Fruits I put in zip-locs in the freezer.

You have to consider how long you plan on keeping the dried food. If you are going to store it for a long time, use the lemon.

Drying is easy . . . Good Luck !

How do you make your own cookies?

You'll need a recipe - I suggest an internet search for the basic type of cookie you want, then scan for a recipe you think you can follow all the instructions of and get the ingredients for. The basic recipe is to mix the dry ingredients, mix the wet ingredients, blend the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, shape into cookies (either by dropping as pieces of dough or rolling out and cutting into shapes) then cooking them.
