(what runs) Lori - Wow. TEACH ME. Your photos are incredible! The colors! The “art” of it! What’s your secret…??

oh and of course the food looks amazing!

March 24, 2011 - 8:22 pm

srlacy - Oh wow. Thanks, Lori. You just officially made my day.

I try to think of one thing that epitomizes the food. Whether it’s a yellow sprinkle, a “hair” on a raspberry, or a swirl of piped frosting, I try to focus on that. No distracting foregrounds/backgrounds. It’s just the food.

I’m having a love affair with food. 🙂

November 9, 2012 - 12:11 am

srlacy - Hi Kelly-

Right now the template I am using does not offer a “print” button (unfortunately-I’ve tried messing with it, but it won’t let me.) For now, you can copy and paste into Word without printing out all the pictures.

erica - Mine were too wet/sticky to ball…I added extra flour and made two logs wrapped in Saran wrap and stuck in the fridge to hopefully set up some…
I doubled the recipe too…so I wonder if it was operator error…My math. We’ll see .
I’m sure they will be fine…can’t wait to roll them in sprinkles!

December 8, 2014 - 9:39 pm

erica - Well I just took them out of the fridge and baked…and they turned out super cute!
Will definitely be making more of these!!
Thank you for sharing this recipe…!!!

FAQs

What makes cookies light and airy group of answer choices? ›

Mixing Butter & Sugar

Creaming is the act of mixing butter and sugar to incorporate air bubbles into the butter, creating a light and fluffy cookie. If your butter is under mixed, it won't have the air pockets to hold it's shape.

Should I use baking powder or baking soda for cookies? ›

Baking soda is typically used for chewy cookies, while baking powder is generally used for light and airy cookies. Since baking powder is comprised of a number of ingredients (baking soda, cream of tartar, cornstarch, etc.), using it instead of pure baking soda will affect the taste of your cookies.

What does adding milk to cookies do? ›

One of the main roles of milk in baking is to provide moisture. It can help to keep baked goods from becoming too dry and crumbly, and can also add tenderness to the texture. In addition to adding moisture, milk can also help to create a softer crumb in breads and cakes.

How many calories are in baby cookies? ›

Baby food, arrowroot cookies (1 each) contains 3.9g total carbs, 3.8g net carbs, 0.4g fat, 0.3g protein, and 21 calories.

What makes a cookie light and airy? ›

As the butter and sugar combine, the sugar's sharp edges cut through the fat and create air pockets that lighten the texture of baked goods.

What makes cookies lighter? ›

Using lower-moisture sugar (granulated) and fat (vegetable shortening), plus a longer, slower bake than normal, produces light, crunchy cookies.

Why do my cookies taste airy? ›

Overmixing your batter can lead to runny cookies.

I mixed the batter more than I should have both during the creaming stage of the recipe and after adding the flour. As a result, the cookies came out light and airy, and I was able to taste the butter more prominently in this batch than in others.

What gives bread its light and airy texture? ›

The texture of the bread is mainly dependent on how much gas is in the dough. Carbon dioxide is responsible for all the bubbles that make holes in bread, making it lighter and fluffier.
