***FOR BAKING DIRECTIONS*** - Please look inside the 2-page hang tag which opens from the bottom.

1. If the recipe calls for "butter" always use REAL BUTTER.

2. Try using a cookie scooper (they're similar to a small ice cream scoop). That way, you can quickly and easily make all cookies the same size.

3. We always take our cookies out of the oven before they start to brown, usually at around at 8 minutes.

4. Baking at high altitudes? Simply increase the baking temperature by 25 degrees. After removing your cookies from the oven, continue to let them "cook" by leaving them on the pan for about 5 minutes.

5. After cooling cookies on the pan for 5 minutes, transfer your cookies from the baking sheet to paper towels to finish cooling.

6. For perfectly cut bars and brownies, let your pan cool for about 30 minutes. Then place it in the freezer or refrigerator until your dessert is firm, but not frozen. We find they're easier to cut and look better when cut cold.

7. Can't eat them all? All of our desserts freeze very well. After you bake them place the ones you'd like to enjoy later into the freezer. When removed from the freezer, they still taste freshly baked.

8. Brown sugar not coming easily out of your jar? To remove the brown sugar layer from the jar, cut an "X" through it and remove it in pieces. If needed, run a little warm water over the jar or sprinkle the brown sugar layer with a few drops of water first. If the brown sugar is lumpy after removing it, the easiest way to soften it is to put it in a separate bowl and microwave it for about 10 seconds at a time until it is soft. This works very well and the brown sugar will be very nice and easy to work with.
