Cookies - Baking Tips

• Get permission to use the kitchen. 
• Parental supervision is highly recommended! (see this Better Homes & Gardens information about kitchen safety)
• Wash your hands with soap and water before starting your kitchen preparations.  Wash hands as needed like after touching the trash can or picking up items from the floor.
• If you have long hair, put it up or cover it up.
• Read and re-read the recipe several times before starting and while working.
• Before starting, make sure you have all of the necessary ingredients  and put them out on the counter.
• Before starting, get out all of the equipment (pans and measuring cups, spoons, etc.)
• Follow the recipe exactly. If it helps, make a copy of the recipe and cross of each instruction as you complete it.
• Use oven mittens or pot holders when taking food in and out of the oven. Stand to the side as opening oven door.
• Clean as you go along to make clean-up at the end easier. Then you can enjoy (and share) your goodies faster!
