Where is a good place to sell cookies?
Other than selling at a fund-raising bake-sale or in connection with local yard sales and rummage sales, anyone of any age hoping to sell home-make baked goods would need to check with state and local government for information about health codes and regulations on selling food. Sadly, most states require commercial kitchens and health inspections whenever any food is offered for sale. But these laws protect the public from unsafe products and contaminated food.

Which oil has better flavor for baking cookies corn or canola?
Sure can.
All oils can usually be substituted for one another in most recipes. Corn oil, soybean oil (vegetable), and canola(rape seed) oils are all highly processed (chemically) synthetic oils.
Olive oil, peanut oil and safflower oil are three natural mechanically processed oils which also act the same way as the above oils in recipes.
Safflower oil most nearly has the same properties as canola (rape weed) oil.

You can purchase them at places like H.E.B. and Wal-Mart, look at the end-caps near the baby section.
How many cups in a 25 pound bag of flour?
A good estimate would be 50, but it will vary on grind and packing. You should measure weight when baking! Cups is a measure of volume. Pounds is a measure of weight and mass. You can not directly convert the two.
What size measuring spoon would you use to make a 1 inch ball for making cookies?
Try using a meat ball scoop. It's simialar to a Ice cream scoop, but smaller. Don't have either one? can you tell me if I should use a measuring spoon?
What do 2 eggs do for the chocolate chip cookie?
Most baking recipes equire eggs as an ingredient because they act like a glue and hold the flour/sugar/etc. together. Vegan recipes have no eggs, and will often call for suitable egg substitutes such as ground flax seed and water.
Why do you chill cookie dough?
It's the help with the sticky-ness factor! When dough is chilled it is much easier to manage.
It actually prevents the dough from spreading too much. It is usually not that necessary when making drop cookies (depending on how you like your cookies) , but crucial for rolled (i.e. sugar cookies) and stenciled cookies
Hermit Cookies are usually just referred to as "Hermits."
The name "Hermit" is used for two different types of cookie.
Both are rich spiced cookies with raisins, and often, nuts in them. But one is a drop cookie, very similar to Boston Cookies, while the other is a rolled out or flat version made as "bars."
The base for both is butter, flour and either white or brown sugar. Some versions use molasses as well as sugar.
The flavouring is cinnamon and nutmeg; some versions call for some lemon or orange zest to be added.
Some versions use coffee as the liquid.
When made as a drop cookie, more liquid is used.
When made as bars, they come out soft and chewy, about 1/4 inch (1/2 cm) thick, with raisins and nuts. To make them, they are extruded from a cookie press in strips about 3 inches (7 1/2 cm) wide, and cut into 2 inches (5 cm) lengths.
In America, it's becoming the norm to make them in strips. Sometimes in Chicago people used to spread the finished bars with maple icing.
In Canada, the drop-version is still made.
Sometimes a recipe would make a stiffer dough, that you rolled out and cut with a cookie cutter.
Are Stella d'oro products sold in Colorado?
For a while I was able to get my local King Supers to carry the product. They will get what you want if you stay on top of it. It is almost easier to go mail order and get it in a week. It is a shame, a way of life back east requires rumping through hoops out here.
Does the temperature of the oven affect the weight of the cookie?
It would change a little bit because you will lose moisture in the baking.
Why is cold water used when baking cookies?
Because if the fat in the pastry melts or softens, when it is cooked the edges will shrink down. if you want to use normal water then just make sure you refrigerate the pastry for a little longer.
What kind of cookies do british people eat with tea?

This can range from home made cakes and scones, to packaged biscuits and chocolate bars. It is also a custom for some people to dunk biscuits into their tea.
In addition, it is not uncommon for British people to drink tea along with their normal meals. In some places dinner is refered to as "tea time".
Why do you use baking soda in cookies?
Only if the recipe calls for it. Some recipes only call for Baking Powder. It is as simple as reading the recipe you have in front of you.
Where did the name cookies come from?
The first cookies were created by accident. Cooks used a small amount of cake batter to test their oven temperature before baking a large cake. These little test cakes were called "koekje", meaning "little cake" in Dutch.
Originally called "little cakes," cookies are made with sweet dough or batter, baked in single-sized servings and eaten out-of-hand. Perfect for snacking or as dessert, cookies are consumed in 95.2 percent of U.S. households. Americans alone consume over 2 billion cookies a year, or 300 cookies for each person annually. Cookies are most often classified by method of preparation - drop, molded, pressed, refrigerated, bar and rolled. Their dominant ingredient, such as nut cookies, fruit cookies or chocolate cookies, can also classify them. Whether gourmet, soft or bite-sized cookies, new categories are always cropping up as the American appetite for cookies continues to grow. History The word cookie originally came from the Dutch keokje, meaning "little cake." In addition, the Dutch first popularized cookies in the United States. The British took a liking to them in the 19th century, incorporating them into their daily tea service and calling them biscuits or sweet buns, as they do in Scotland. Sometime in the 1930s, so the story goes, a Massachusetts innkeeper ran out of nuts while making cookies. Therefore, she substituted a bar of baking chocolate, breaking it into pieces and adding the chunks of chocolate to the flour, butter and brown sugar dough. The Toll House Cookie, so named after the inn in which it was served, was a hit. Historians credit the innkeeper, Ruth Wakefield, with inventing what has since become an American classic - the chocolate chip cookie. The earliest cookie-style cakes are thought to date back to seventh-century Persia, one of the first countries to cultivate sugar. There are six basic cookie styles, any of which can range from tender-crisp to soft. A drop cookie is made by dropping spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet. Bar cookies are created when a batter or soft dough is spooned into a shallow pan, then baked, cooled and cut into bars. Hand-formed (or molded) cookies are made by shaping dough by hand into small balls, logs, crescents and other shapes. Pressed cookies are formed by pressing dough through a COOKIE PRESS (or PASTRY BAG) to form fancy shapes and designs. Refrigerator (or icebox) cookies are made by shaping the dough into a log, which is refrigerated until firm, then sliced and baked. Rolled cookies begin by using a rolling pin to roll the dough out flat; then it is cut into decorative shapes with COOKIE CUTTERS or a pointed knife. Other cookies, such as the German SPRINGERLE, are formed by imprinting designs on the dough, either by rolling a special decoratively carved rolling pin over it or by pressing the dough into a carved COOKIE MOLD. In England, cookies are called biscuits , in Spain they're galletas , Germans call them keks, in Italy they're biscotti and so on.
The first American cookie was originally brought to this country by the English, Scots, and Dutch immigrants. Our simple "butter cookies" strongly resemble the English tea cakes and the Scotch shortbread. The Southern colonial housewife took great pride in her cookies, almost always called simply "tea cakes." These were often flavored with nothing more than the finest butter, sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water. In earlier American cookbooks, cookies were given no space of their own but were listed at the end of the cake chapter. They were called by such names as "Jumbles," "Plunkets," and "Cry Babies." The names were extremely puzzling and whimsical. There are hundreds upon hundreds of cookie recipes in the United States. No one book could hold the recipes for all the various types of cookies.
