Are you ready to welcome and embrace the season of spring? For sure, most of us are. One of the best ways to usher in the lovely season of rebirth is to bake a big batch of spring cookies! In this cookbook, you will find a lovely collection of spring cookies made with berries, citrus fruits, zest, herbs and so on. No doubt, youre going to find the sweet treats not only delicious and filling but also refreshing. Youll be happy to know as well that most of the recipes in the cookbook do not require too much time and effort. Most of the recipes dont require too many ingredients as well. So, are you ready to start baking? Enjoy!

To make sure your cookie baking time is a success, here are some useful tips that youd want to follow:

• Refrigerate the cookie dough Most of the recipes in this cookbook require refrigerating the cookie dough before baking it.

  Do not skip this step. Chilling the dough helps firm it up so that it does not overspread during baking. Aside from this, it also helps ensure that the cookies have a thicker and more solid texture. Moreover, it works magic to enhance the cookie flavor. On top of all these, refrigerated cookie dough is also easier (and less messy) to handle. Just make sure that you dont refrigerate it too long, so it wont harden up too much.

• Do not overspread One way you can prevent this aside from the previous tip is not to use spray or butter on your baking pan.

  Instead, line your baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

• Do not over-mix the cookie dough In some of the recipes, youll be asked to mix until fully combined. Once you see the mixture has combined well enough, you can stop mixing. Over mixing can whip too much air into the cookie dough and result in the cookie collapsing during baking.
• Follow the recipe instructions to the dot Some of the recipes have specific details when it comes to the preparation of ingredients. For example, if the recipe calls for softened butter, let the butter warm to room temperature before using it. Do not use melted butter or cold hard butter. You wont get the texture or consistency necessary for the cookie recipe if you dont follow the instructions carefully.
• Do not overcrowd the oven - You are bound to get successful results if you bake the cookies one batch at a time.

  Place the cookies at least 1 to 2 inches apart on the baking pan to avoid overcrowding. Bake in several batches if the cookies dont fit inside your oven all at the same time.

• Make a big batch and refrigerate or freeze You can refrigerate or freeze baked cookies but make sure that you cool them off first. This way, you get to save time and effort, and your family or friends will also be happy that there are enough cookies for another serving! Simply reheat the cookies when youre ready to serve them.

Dont worry if you dont get these treats done perfectly for the first time. Practice makes perfect! And be sure to pay careful attention to the recipe instructions. Good luck!
