Sugar! Pls keep the cookies fresh.

To supermom, home baker & cookie lover...

Normally what we do to keep the cookies fresh is by keeping them tight in a container. But do you know that sugar also able to keep the cookies from stale? Sugar is hygroscopic (able to attract moisture)...and also attracting ants!

If you want to keep that home made cookies fresh, place a teaspoon of sugar at the bottom of the cookie jar. This will just do it! Note to moms: You might want to consider this tip if you have ants problems :) .


Sugar can also be to keep the cookies dough from sticking. If you are making a cut-out cookies, try to dust the counter with confectioner's sugar/powder sugar instead of flour. For your info, dusting the counter with flour will only make your dough become dry.

Type of Cookies

Expect these cookies to be in our catalog soon... :)

Bar Cookies are prepared by putting the dough in a rectangular pan. They are baked and then cut into squares. Most drop cookie recipes can be converted to this type of cookie. These are the easiest cookies to make, because several batches are baked at once.

Drop cookies are the easiest individual cookies to make. Balls of dough are dropped from a spoon onto a cookie sheet. You can find the most famous drop cookies in Johor Bahru here :) .

Refrigerator or Icebox Cookies are prepared by shaping the dough into long rolls and then refrigerating them. Once cold, the dough can be sliced and baked. This is a great prepare-ahead-of-time dough because it can also be frozen.

Rolled Cookies take a little more preparation. With a rolling pin, chilled dough is rolled out. The dough is cut into shapes by using a knife, pastry wheel or cookie cutter.
