Coo\ies
Most rolled cookies are improved, being more
crisp and delicate, if dough is chilled in the
refrigerator before rolling. It may be left
covered for days and the cookies shaped and
baked a few at a time as wanted. They can
be rolled thin without sticking and without
the addition of more flour.
Most cookie mixtures if packed solidly in a
bread pan and chilled over night in the re-
frigerator can be sliced thin and put on oiled
tin pans in less time than is required to roll
and cut them.
