Pumpkin Cookies - Tips & Tricks
• To prevent cookies from sticking to a baking sheet or baking paper, it is better to use fat or good sunflower, olive oil for lubrication. Often butter and margarine contain water. The silicone mat does not need lubrication.
• If you want to bake two baking sheets with cookies at the same time, then for uniform cooking they will need to be interchanged. But they do it only in the second part of the preparation.
• Cookies will be much more aromatic if you grind cinnamon and cloves yourself. Powdered spices lose their smell during storage and are not always of high quality.
