To bake perfect cookies, follow these simple instructions.
- Store dough frozen until ready to use. It is not necessary to defrost the cookie dough before baking.
- Place frozen cookie dough on a parchment paper- lined standard size sheet pan (18” x 26”). PLEASE NOTE: Baking directly on the Teflon (without lining) may cause an inconsistent spread of the cookie.
- Bake according to cookie size and type of oven (convention or convection). Refer to the chart below.
- Oven temperatures may vary. It’s best to use an oven thermometer to read the actual temperature of the oven .
- Rotate sheet pan if necessary.
- Remove sheet pan and place on a cooling rack. Cookies will continue to bake on pan after removed from the oven.

PROBLEM: Cookie did not spread when baked.
SOLUTION: Hot ovens prevent cookies from spreading. Check oven temperature by inserting an oven thermometer. When the oven reaches the recommended temperature, adjust accordingly.
PROBLEM: Cookie spreads too large and is oily.
SOLUTION: Cold ovens make cookies spread thin and shortening separates from cookie. Always preheat oven and check with an oven thermometer before baking.
QUESTION: Why are other cookies (not Michael’s Cookies) hard the day after they were baked?
ANSWER: Michael’s Cookies are made without any animal fats, which solidify when cold. That’s what makes other cookies hard.
