- How many baking sheets do I need? Oops! Our recipe card got a little carried away—you’ll just need 1 or 2 for the cookies. If you have a walled cookie sheet, you can use it for the ice cream, otherwise any walled dish, Tupperware, etc. or splitting the ice cream mixture across to dishes will work great.
- Which rack do the baking trays go on? The trays should be placed on the second from the top and second from the bottom racks. Halfway through cooking, switch the bottom tray to the top rack and top tray to the bottom rack. If you just have one baking sheet, start at the second from the top and move to the second from the bottom halfway through cooking.
Best Practices
- Use room temperature butter. If your butter comes straight from the refrigerator, don't fret! There's no need to let it sit out for an hour to acclimate. Instead, pop it in the microwave. Be sure to use a microwave safe bowl and cover with a paper towel. Heat on high for 10-15 second intervals checking between each. Don't wait for a puddle of melted butter to form. When pressing the butter lightly leaves a soft indent, your butter is ready.
- Use unsalted butter. Salt is in almost ever baking recipe. It counteracts the leavening agent (typically baking powder or baking soda) in your baked goods. This is where the real chemistry of baking comes in. If you use too much salt, your recipe won't rise enough. Too little and it will rise too much. Since the precise amount of salt in salted butter is not specified it's a best practice to use unsalted butter and add the exact amount of salt needed in your recipe. With BEL Box recipes, the right amount of salt has been added to your dry ingredients, so use unsalted butter and you'll be well on your way to another delicious treat!
