How To Make Bites & Cookies

  • Use standard flat cookie sheet to make both Bites & Cookies. The difference between bites and cookies is simply whether you choose to leave the scooped mix in the shape of the scoop (bites) or flatten it into a cookie. We recommend using either parchment paper or a silicon baking mat to prevent the mix from sticking to the pan thereby requiring more clean-up (alternately, coating the pan with butter, oil, or Pam ® will work also).

    • Scoop approximately 1 large tablespoon-sized dollop of mixed ingredients onto the cookie sheet
    • Leave it rounded to make bites or gently mash or flatten it to make a cookie. We like to use a small ice cream scoop which works very well and the mix comes out much cleaner this way.
    • Preheat the oven at 300 degrees (this helps you to properly time the process so you can get it down for your over)
    • Place the cookie sheets in the oven and allow to cook for approx. 8-10 minutes
    • Cooking time will vary based on the ingredients used, how moist the mix is, your oven, and how you like your cookies; some people like them soft and chewy while others like them crispy
    • In either event, be sure to take them out a bit before you think they are ready as they will continue to firm up as they cool off
    • It will likely take a couple of times to figure out how you like them best.
