Thlngt to Remember Tho softer cookies nro mixed tho lighter and mora moiit thoy will be. To hnndlo soft dough for rolling and cutting, tako only a small amount on tho board at a time. When very soft dough Is to bo rolled and cut, always odd a llttlo baking pow der to flour used on tho molding board and tho rolling pin, as tho flour alona will toughen the dough. To bake cookies uso a sheet or a shsL low pan and always bako at tho top of tho oven. Never try to bako cookies In a doep pan. Tho host must get directly nt tho cooky from tho sides as woll at tho top. If ono docs not havo a shallow pan or cooky sheet, Invert a dripping pan and uso tho bottom of It. Have a moderate oven for cookies. To bako Tea Cakes always uso the slow oven until tho cakes havo doubled In bulk. Then bake until dono with tho hotter oven. If tea cakes "mountain up" and crack open it is an indication thoy baked too quickly. K C Baking Powder is oxcollont for cookies. It la not always possible to havo enough ovon room or enough shul low pans to bako all tho cookies at ono time. With K C It Is porfectly safo to mix as much batter as you wish and bako as fast as convenient. Tho last cookies baked will bo equally as nice aa tho first, duo to tho nature of K C Bak ing Powder. K C Is so mode that it elves two dis tinct raises one out of tho oven and one In tho oven. This doublo rnlso allows food to remain out of tho ovon for hours and still bo light when baked and it also makos tho food much lighter than tho old fashioned baking powder. Test this statcmentbymaklng your favor! to cako with K C and note tho difference In tho slzo of it when baked. fvthosummor.
