Girls are made of sugar and spice, but what are the cookies made of? Recipe books are not enough for you to master the art of cookie-making. The food programs on DISH Network are the ultimate guides to the preparation of these tasty treats. Cookies are loved by all and you can always use them as a gift for your loved ones. These food programs inform you about the origin of different types of cookies. For example, did you know that the origin of drop cookies lies in your country? Chocolate-chip cookies fall in this category, and have become a delightful treat for people across the world.

The DISH Network shows invite the connoisseurs in cookie-making. They exhibit a wide range of processes from the traditional to the modern ones. A simple dough of sugar and butter can create a magic that is beyond your imagination. The secret of a perfect cookie lies in its method of baking. Baking requires accurate measurement of ingredients, and one needs to be very alert about this. Even the slightest slip in the proportion of the ingredients can spoil your cookies. The seasoned chefs on the show teach you to get the right consistency of the cookie mix. Temperature is another key factor which should not be least ignored, or else you may end up with undesirable results. The baking of cookies is an art that has been mastered by the chefs invited on the TV shows. They regulate the baking temperatures with much ease than you do. You can learn a lot from them and become a ‘cookie-master’ some day. The crispy texture makes you feel heavenly, as you bite into your home-made cookies.

Cookies go with all kinds of desserts, especially ice cream. At the end of a sumptuous dinner, these home –made cookies can be teamed with the dessert to make it a grand meal.

The cookie experts recommend the use of superior quality and fresh ingredients. The use of a second-grade ingredient can change the entire taste of the cookie for the worse. There is no other alternative to using the best quality ingredients so as to get the real flavor of the cookies. Another point to be noted, as mentioned by the experts, is substitution. Inappropriate substitutions of the required ingredients can result in baking difficulties. This often leads to the formation of cookies that are ‘crumbly’ and not ‘crispy’. ‘From Martha’s Kitchen’, a premium cookery show of the Hallmark Channel, unleashes the recipes of some of the finest cookies.
