No, raw cookie dough should never be consumed. Please follow the baking instructions on the package.

Yes, they are.

Absolutely! Dough can be frozen for up to 2 months when placed in the freezer before the "Use or Freeze By" date indicated on the package.

The best way to avoid sticky dough is to keep it well chilled before you begin to use it. Coating your hands with nonstick cooking spray makes the dough easier to handle, too. Also try using a knife to cut the dough apart instead of using your hands.

The slight square appearance or slight peaks are normal. Make sure that your oven is preheated to the temperature stated on the package. If you prefer a rounder appearance to the finished cookie, you can roll the dough in your hands prior to baking.

You may be using a “dark metal” baking sheet. Although these types of baking sheets catch and hold heat well, they may brown cookies too rapidly. Check cookies a few minutes before time stated on the package. Always place your baking sheet in the middle rack of your oven so that it is not too close to the heat source. You may also want to utilize an oven thermometer to ensure the correct baking temperature.

It is important to have your oven fully preheated at the temperature stated on the recipe. If you’re starting out with frozen dough, allow extra baking time to ensure that the centers are done. Don’t place too many cookies on the cookie sheet at one time—this helps allow for even cooking. Let the finished cookies sit on the cookie sheet for a few minutes prior to transferring to a wire rack. And remember that cooking times are an approximation—when cookies are golden brown around the edges, they should be ready.

Make sure that your dough is well chilled (or frozen) and that your oven has been preheated to the correct temperature. Cool your cookies for a full 2 minutes on the sheet before attempting to move them to the wire rack.

The dough contains margarine and fats in the formulation; therefore, it is important that your dough is well chilled (or frozen) prior to baking.
