Tips & Tricks
1. Mix until just combined.
When a recipe specifically says mix until combined, it is meaning do not over mix the batter or whatever you are currently mixing. If you happen to get a little carried away with your mixing, the outcome will not be as moist or fluffy as you would have liked it. The cookie or cake, etc. may be a little more rough.
2. Don't drain out all of your pasta water!
When it is time to drain your pasta from your pot, keep a small amount of water with the pasta to add extra shine, flavor and so its less likely to clump together.
3. Don't be afraid of adding a pinch of salt.
You might think that dessert does not require salt. Just a little pinch of salt actually brings all of the flavors together in a dessert. Try it!
4. Just a drop of coconut oil.
When melting any type of chocolate, always add a drop of coconut oil to thin it out and give it a nice shine.
5. You can store your homemade cookies up to a month in the freezer.
To freeze your already baked and cooled cookies, place them in a really good air tight container with aluminum foil down at the bottom. Put wax paper between each layer so the cookies don't touch the other cookies. Freeze them up to a month and they will still taste just as fresh after thawed out.
