Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Keep cookies chewy and soft by storing them tightly covered. Resealable food-storage plastic bags, plastic food containers with tight-fitting lids and metal tins work best.
  • tip 2
    Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper for no-stick cookie baking and easy cleanup.
