Hi MaryJane!
I have just stumbled upon ur blog thru KAF. I ahve been baking for 30yrs. now but just this yr. I started o feel more comfortable using cookie cutters & decorating them. I am loving your blog. My friend, Diane & I just started a cookie business. Diane is justlearning to bae this way. We could use some help. I can make our cookie dough. It comes out perfect. When Diane mkes it comes out sticky. when she bakes her cokies either are raw or burned. She blamed her oven, but I baked in her oven this weekend with no problem. HELP!!!
HI Dawn,
Congratulations on your new business. it sounds like you are on the right track, and that you and Diane may need to spend time together with the recipes side by side making the dough together and baking together so that you are both consistent in your measures, your technique, your bake etc. Be sure your formulas (recipes) are in weight measures for accuracy, and converting to grams will eliminate any fractions of ounces.
Timers for mixing, baking, etc. couldn't be more important and consistency, consistency, practice, practice practice!
Best of luck in your new venture! ~ MaryJane
