PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE WHILE MAKING COOKIES/BISCUITS • A major precaution to be observed while making cookie mixture is that they should be quickly mixed and never over processed. • For hard to handle soft doughs, roll the dough directly on to the baking sheet. Cut into the desired shapes and remove the scraps from around. • If cookies should stick to the pan, put the pan back into the oven for a few seconds. This usually loosens the cookies easily.
