Cookie dough
Some believe that cookie dough recipes date back to the early 1800s. Others believe that they originated even earlier, in the 1700s. It is believed that the first cookie dough recipe was for a shortbread cookie. The recipe was published in a cookbook in 1796. The cookbook was called The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy, by Hannah Glasse.
The recipe for cookie dough has changed over the years. In the early days, it was made with a dough that was boiled in water or milk. This made the dough very tough. In the 1800s, eggs were added to the dough to make it more tender. Sugar was also added to sweeten the dough.
In the early 1900s, cookie dough was made with a dough that was rolled out and cut into shapes. These cookies were called drop cookies because they were dropped by the spoonful onto the baking sheet. In the 1940s, Nestle Toll House introduced the chocolate chip cookie. This cookie was made with a dough that was chilled before being baked.
Advice
Making cookie dough can be a fun and rewarding experience. My best advice is to always measure your ingredients and read the recipe instructions completely before beginning. When measuring, make sure to use the appropriate measurements for each ingredient. In addition, make sure to use room temperature butter and eggs, as this will help create a more even consistency in your dough. Always use the best quality ingredients that you can find and be sure to mix the dough together thoroughly. Finally, remember to chill the dough in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before baking, as this will help create a better texture in the baked cookies.
