Cooling the dough before shaping and baking the cookies allows for several chemical changes in the ingredients. The gluten in the flour, which becomes worked up in mixing, is able to relax. Dry ingredients become thoroughly saturated with the wet ingredients, and flavors meld with each other. Perhaps most importantly, fats in the dough which became soft or liquid at room temperature, return to their solid state, making the dough more firm and easier to shape, and producing a better texture when baked.

How do you moisten dry peanut butter cookie dough?
You may add an egg or a couple tablespoons of milk. In a typical chocolate chip cookie or sugar cookie (or similar), milk will produce a flatter, crisper cookie, and egg will produce a puffier cookie. If you want to get fancy, heavy cream or créme anglais works as well. In lemon or orange cookies, you could add lemon or orange juice.

What certain cookie sheets make cookies burn?
I would also add, If your baking more than one batch of cookies, cool the sheet before putting new dough on it. Putting dough on a hot sheet causes it to start cooking before you even get it in the oven. A quick way to cool your sheet is to turn it upside-down and run cold water on it. Oh, and you want to pull them out about 1 min early. When you pull them out, to cool enough to get them off the pan, they are still cooking because the pan is hot. Previous answer: A very good one FYI :) Burned cookies can be caused by a number of things, including: 1. Oven temperature that is too high 2. Baking them for too long 3. Placing the pan too low in the oven 4. The type of oven you are using (e.g. gas vs. electric) In terms of pans, cookie sheets that are darker in colour will brown the bottoms of the cookies a lot faster (leading to them to potentially burn) than lighter coloured sheets. also when your done baking it let it sit for a few minutes because if you try to pick it up right away t might break
How should you store uncooked bread and dough products?
The answer to this is dependent on the type of product in question. Items such as part baked breads that are sealed can be kept in a cool, dry cupboard, whereas things like raw cookie dough or bread dough are best kept in the fridge to prevent spoiling. Bear in mind, it's best to let the dough come back to temperature before baking and not to leave it more than 7 days before use.

How do you bake cookies in a shaped cookie pan?
Pour cookie batter all over the pan. If the cookie dough is firm enough to be shaped, press a single ball of dough into each depression of the well-greased mold (pan,) being careful to press out air bubbles. Bake according to recipe instructions, the cool for about 5 minutes on a cooling rack. Remove cookies from molds while still warm, by inverting the pan over a rack, and tapping gently. If cookies do not drop out, carefully loosen each cookie around the edges, then use a flexible thin spatula or fork to life each gently from the mold.
How To Use A Cookie Cutter?
When you think of a cookie cutter, you think of Christmas cookies. You think of cookie dough, coloured frosting, and sprinkles. You think of a 10-hour cookie decorating event in which the entire family gathers to make several week’s worth of holiday treats. The cookie cutter has revolutionized the concept of cookies. No longer must be settled for circular rounds of sweet goodness. Instead, we can eat cookies in the shape of Christmas trees, angels, stars, hearts, presidents’ heads, and even rubber duckies. In fact, you could likely find a cookie cutter for every national holiday, weekend hobby, important celebration, or general interest. If you have never experienced the wonder of a cookie cutter and are unaware of how to use one, you should continue reading. Using a cookie cutter is as simple as rolling out some stiff, cold sugar cookie dough to approximately 1/4-1/2 thick and pressing your prized cookie cutter into the dough with even pressure. Out comes a fabulous shape which you can bake, cool, slather with frosting, and shove into your mouth. Cookie cutters also come in handy when using play dough. Children enjoy making shapes out of their dough, even if the shape will be squished within several seconds. However, cookie cutters can also be used with modeling clay and hardened or baked for a preservable product! As an example, you can make ginger dough and make Christmas ornaments using cookie cutters! For those into cake decorating, cookie cutters provide ease and convenience. Simply press the cookie cutter lightly into the frosting or fondant, leaving the outline of the shape behind. You can then trace the outline with frosting or piping gel. If sugar, dough, and baking aren’t things you want to get into, have no fear. The cookie cutters do not have to go unused. Art projects are a great way to use all of those special shapes. You can trace cookie cutters onto paper for drawing. You can trace them onto scrapbook paper for special shapes near your photos. You can trace and cut out shapes from construction paper for paper chains or specific decorations. Cookie cutters are easy to use, easy to wash, and easy to love. Perhaps it is time to go make some sugar cookies!
