Tis the season to do lots of baking, both for ourselves and others, and as we deliver the baked goods season after holiday season we pick up a few tricks to speed things up and ensure a perfect bake.

Chill the dough for a bit and you'll end up with thicker cookies that are easier to form into equal sized scoops before baking.

You should also put your cut sugar cookies and pie crusts in the freezer for a bit before baking them, which will help them retain their shape since the butter won't melt as fast.

How to Make Rich, Flavorful Caramel Without Melting Sugar
quote:
Caramelization occurs independent of melting. Consider the above photo exhibit A—neither brown sugar nor turbinado, but granulated white sugar that I caramelized without melting. It's dry to the touch, and performs exactly like granulated white sugar.

Except, you know, the part where it tastes like caramel.
