  2. When cookies stick to the cookie sheet, return cookie sheet to the oven for a few minutes to loosen the cookies; remove with a greased formula.
  3. To break up hard brown sugar so it is easier to cream it with butter for cookie dough, great it or process it in a blender until it is soft ad fluffy.
  4. To make rolled cookies thinner and crisper, put cookies by tbsp. directly on cookie sheet, press each mound with the bottom of a glass, dipping it in sugar each time.
  5. Brush the surface of cookies with a slightly beaten egg yolk thinned with water and allow it to dry before baking, for a shiny glaze.
  6. To make a strawberry glaze, mix 2 tbsp. strawberry juice, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tbsp. lemon juice, cook stirring until sugar is dissolved.
