3. The process of making cookies
The process of making Cookles is easy, but the flouring stage is always the most difficult step. Beat the dough with your fingers and the dough will be soft, soft and fresh. If you don't beat it well, the dough will be uneven, resulting in a bad taste.
Making cookies must pay attention to the amount of water when mixing dough. To the cake when baking is not too dry and not too soft. Just right, the bread will be easier to eat.
Note in the steps to make cookies:
Do not mix the dough too thoroughly, but only until the ingredients are homogeneous. Mixing the dough too well will trigger gluten - a type of starch that hardens and crunches the cake when baked. The more dough you mix, the more gluten is activated, the dough becomes blocked. If the cake has eggs, mixing the dough long will cause the eggs to collapse, the bread will not hatch.
Allow the dough to cool before rolling and shaping the cake to give the finished product a stable shape. If not refrigerated, the dough will be very difficult to cut because the butter contained in the dough will quickly melt at high temperatures, making the dough soft, stick to hands, rolling dough and cutting tools.
In the same batch, you should cut the cake to the same size. Because the same size of cake will have the same baking time, if the size of the cake is too different, the smallest cakes will burn while the larger ones have not cooked.
Do not put cookies too close together when baking, as all types of cookies need a large space on the cake tray to allow the bread to swell. If placed too close, the cake will not swell or deform
Baking trays should be nonstick. If the cake is not sticky during baking, it will probably burn the bottom, making the smell and taste of the cake change. Can stick with silicone sheet or parchment paper, stick with too much cooking oil will sag.
Careful monitoring of temperature and baking time is required. Only 1 minute beyond the time will cause the bread to burn. After baking, remove the cake from the baking tray immediately if it meets the requirements because the baking tray may burn the cake even more.
Need to cool the cake after taking out from the oven, absolutely not cooled by a refrigerator. If the cookie is very soft, do not move away from the baking tray until it cools down and is harder to move.
Dry the cookies if you want the cake to hold longer and more crispy.
Pay attention to the small details from preparing tools, ingredients, mixing dough, shaping to baking, you will have delicious and crispy cookies. Good luck!
