Frequently Asked Questions
How do I store homemade desserts to keep them fresh?
Most cookies and bars should be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For cakes with fruit or cream-based frostings, refrigeration is generally recommended to maintain texture and safety.
What are the most common baking substitutions for easy recipes?
If you are out of eggs, apple sauce or mashed banana often works in denser recipes like brownies. For milk, most dairy-free alternatives like almond or oat milk can be used in a one-to-one ratio.
Why do my cookies spread too much while baking?
Cookies often spread if the butter is too soft or if the dough isn't chilled before hitting the oven. Ensuring your baking sheets are cool before placing dough on them also helps maintain the intended shape.
How do I safely heat-treat flour for edible doughs?
Spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F. This step kills potential bacteria, making the raw flour safe for no-bake treats like edible cookie dough.
What is the benefit of using condensed milk in baking?
Sweetened condensed milk adds moisture and sweetness while acting as a binder, which simplifies the ingredient list for bars and cookies. It creates a soft, almost fudge-like texture in finished baked goods.
