[quote=Anonymous]Cookies and brownies, IMO, are also a whole different level than cakes. They are a great place to start if you have never baked before. Like was said above, just get a basic book and follow the directions. My personal tips: 1) seriously soften your button. Don't use the microwave unless desperate, but leave that stuff out until room temp. 2) use fresh baking soda and/or powder and measure your dry ingredients precisely. 3) do /not/ over stir once you add the flour. Just until it disappears or you will have cake. 4) cook from cool dough and a cool pan 5) take the cookies out slightly underdone [/quote]
