Baking: common questions
Why are my cookies flat?
Usually butter that is too warm, too little flour, a warm baking sheet or an oven running cool. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes helps most recipes.
Should I chill cookie dough?
For most drop cookies, yes. Cold dough spreads less and the flavor deepens. Thirty minutes is enough to make a difference.
How do I know when banana bread is done?
A toothpick in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, and the center reads about 200°F.
Can I freeze quick breads?
Yes. Wrap the cooled loaf well and freeze for up to 3 months. Individual slices thaw in about 30 minutes.
