Essential Baking Tips for Perfect Cookies


It's best to use a kitchen scale whenever possible. If you don't yet own a scale, these recipes are based upon 'lightly packed' measuring cups. Whether you use the 'dip and sweep' method of measuring or the 'spooning into the cup' method, always gently press down on the mix in the measuring cup. Add more to fill the cup as necessary.


1 cup of Bakery Mix equals approximately 125g.


Cookie Tips for Success


  1. We usually prefer our own Sweetener Blend; however, we use Maple Syrup for this recipe.

  2. If cookies are baked right after mixing, they will spread more. If cookies rest, they will spread and flatten less. If the cookies are refrigerated and baked cold, they will be taller and not spread as much. Most bakers have a preference for each type of cookie or recipe.

  3. We suggest baking off one cookie before baking the entire batch. This way, if you use substitutions (e.g., different sweeteners) or you don't weigh your ingredients, you can adjust the dough. If the cookie is too flat, add a tablespoon more mix. If the cookie doesn't spread enough, add a little more soft butter or 1-2 teaspoons of liquid.


Ingredients for Maple Pecan Cookies


  • 2 cups MULTI-USE BAKERY MIX (250g)

  • 10 tablespoons soft butter (150g)

  • 1 cup maple syrup (220)

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecan pieces


Makes 12 Cookies


Directions to Bake Your Cookies


  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F.

  2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Bakery Mix with the rest of the ingredients.

  3. Refrigerate the dough for one hour.

  4. Portion the dough onto a greased or lined sheet pan and roll into balls.

  5. Gently press down on each dough ball with your palm to flatten slightly.

  6. Bake for about 12 to 16 minutes.


Understanding Sweeteners in Baking


Sweeteners vary tremendously and will affect the outcome of all baked goods. We suggest using our new sweetener blend, S'WEEET! Baking Blend, real sugar, or a substitute such as Lakanto's Baking Blend or Mrs. Jones blend (which contains sugar).


Allulose (S'WEEET! Sweetener Blend) and kabocha-based sweeteners will make baked goods very soft. This is fine for most cakes but will also make cookies, bars, and crusts super soft and not crispy or chewy. Erythritol (a sugar alcohol) can make baked goods firm and more crumbly.


When substituting in a recipe, it's usually best to do so by weight and not volume.


Conclusion


Baking cookies can be a delightful experience. By following these tips and using the right ingredients, you can create delicious Maple Pecan Cookies that everyone will love. Enjoy the process and happy baking!
