More Cookie secrets
Saturday, February 6th, 2010Saturday morning is here again! So we are talking about cookies again! Today, there’s more to discuss about butter.
Last week, we talked about the importance of USING butter and of getting it to room temp before beginning your recipe. Today, I’m telling you about the importance of beating the butter. This is another very common short cut that people like to take. I’m telling you, IT MAKES a DIFFERENCE! Beat the butter and sugar together for at LEAST 3 minutes. Set a timer and walk away. This is where the sugar gets nice and coated with fat. You want that mixture to be pale and fluffy. This makes your cookies nice and soft and delicious. If you really want to see the difference, make two batches side by side. Do one as you would normally mix your butter and sugar and do the second with the new 3 minute method.
Merry Mixing!
