Q: Set 1 or 2 baking sheets aside while you mix together the cookie dough. Place 8 tablespoons (110 g) of salted butter into a microwave-safe mixing bowl. Microwave the butter until it just melts, but doesn't get hot. This should take 40 seconds. Measure and add 1/2 cup (100 g) of sugar and 1/4 cup (50 g) of packed light brown sugar to the bowl of melted butter. You can use dark brown sugar, but the cookies will have a stronger molasses flavor. Use a stand or hand mixer to beat the melted butter with the sugars on medium speed. Keep beating the mixture until it's creamy. This should take 1 minute. Turn the mixer down to low speed and add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla. Beat the mixture until the egg is incorporated. This should take 10 to 15 seconds. Turn off the mixer and add 1 1/2 cups (187 g) of flour, 1/2 teaspoon (2 g) of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon (1.5 g) of salt. Turn the mixer on to low and beat the dough until the dry ingredients are just combined. Remove the beaters and use your hands to bring the little bits of dough together. Avoid over mixing your dough or the cookies may become tough instead of soft. Pour 3/4 cup (130 g) of chocolate chips or chunks into the dough and use your hands or a rubber spatula to mix them. The chips should be evenly spread throughout the dough. Divide the dough into 12 even pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and set them on a baking sheet. Arrange the balls so they're at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) apart. Put the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake the cookies until they puff up and turn slightly golden. The cookies will look dry around the edges and just set in the centers. Avoid baking the cookies until they darken since they'll finish cooking as they cool. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and set them on a wire rack. Let the cookies cool completely on the sheets before you move them. The cookies should deflate a little. Store the soft cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. Eat the cookies within 5 to 7 days.
A: Preheat the oven to 350 °F (177 °C) and get out a baking sheet. Microwave the butter. Add the sugars to the melted butter. Beat the butter and sugars for 1 minute. Beat in the vanilla and egg. Mix the dry ingredients into a dough. Stir in the chocolate chips. Roll the dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet. Bake the soft cookies for 9 to 11 minutes. Cool the cookies on the sheets for 30 minutes.

Problem: Article: Remove them from the paper towel and spread them on a tray in a single layer. Let the seeds sit until they are dry to the touch. Let the seeds dry out for a few days. Place the seeds, loosely covered, in the refrigerator. Let them stay there for a few weeks. This helps speed up germination by simulating the time the seeds would have spent in cooler ground during the winter before sprouting the next spring. If you are starting your seeds during the winter, then you can skip this part of the process.
Summary: Dry the seeds. Chill the seeds.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Swishing a simple saline solution has some antibacterial properties and may help relieve tongue bumps. It can also help decrease any inflammation that may present with the condition.  Dissolve 1/2 a teaspoon of salt in an 8-oz glass of warm water to make your saline solution. Gargle a mouthful of the salt water for 30 seconds and then gently spit it out. Swish salt water solution after every meal to remove any debris in your teeth or on your tongue.  Repeat this for three to four times a day until tongue bumps disappear. Do not use saline solution designated for contact lenses as a mouth rinse. There is some evidence that drinking cool or cold liquids can help soothe tongue bumps and reduce any associated inflammation. You can drink cool or cold beverages as a normal part of your daily hydration routine or as necessary to help relieve your discomfort. To keep yourself hydrated, drink at least 9 cups of water a day if you are a woman and 13 cups if you are a man. Persons who are very active and pregnant women need up to 16 cups of water a day. Sucking on an ice cube, ice chips, or an ice pop may help provide additional relief from your bumps. The cold may numb pain and reduce any swelling.  As the ice melts, it can help you stay hydrated and minimize the risk of your tongue drying out, which may exacerbate discomfort from the bumps. You can place ice chips or ice cubes directly on the swollen bump surface of your tongue for an easy application of cold. Repeat icing as often as necessary. Some doctors may suggest consuming soothing foods such as yogurt. These can help relieve any pain or discomfort you may have.  Try and eat foods that are cooled to enhance soothing effects. Dairy products such as yogurt, ice cream, and milk may help alleviate your discomfort. Other foods like pudding or popsicles may also help. Certain foods and products may exacerbate any pain or swelling you have with your tongue bumps. Avoid consuming any substance that may make the pain worse, such as spicy or acidic foods or tobacco.  Acidic foods and drinks, such as tomatoes, orange juice, sodas and coffee can make you more uncomfortable. Also avoid pepper, chili powder, cinnamon and mint. Stay away from cigarettes or chewing tobacco, which can exacerbate your discomfort. If you suspect that your tongue bumps are a result of a food allergy, omit this food from your diet to see if it resolves the condition. Brush and floss your oral cavity every day, including after meals. Combined with regular dental checkups, this can help maintain the health of your teeth, tongue, and gums. A clean mouth may also help prevent tongue bumps.  Make sure to brush and floss after meals if you can. Having debris stuck in your teeth promotes an environment that is rife infection. If you don’t have a toothbrush, chewing a piece of gum can help.  See you dentist at least twice a year for cleanings and checkups. In most cases, you won’t require any treatment for tongue bumps. The condition usually resolves itself within a few hours or days. If you experiencing any pain or discomfort with your tongue bumps or they don't seem to be going away, you should be seen by your doctor.

SUMMARY: Gargle with a warm saltwater solution. Drink cold or cool liquids. Suck on some ice. Eat soothing foods. Avoid food and products that increase discomfort. Maintain oral health. Leave the bumps alone.

Q: Use either a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a handheld mixer.        The dough should be easy to handle. However, if the dough is too soft or sticky, fold in an additional tablespoon of flour.
A:
Place the eggs in a mixing bowl and beat them on medium speed until they are light and fluffy. Add the shortening and beat the mixture until the shortening and eggs are well blended. Whisk the flour, sugar and salt together in a separate mixing bowl. Set a third mixing bowl on the counter next to the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Position the sieve or sifter over the third bowl and pour the dry ingredients through it and into the bowl. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients by pushing the dry ingredients against the sides of the bowl with a flat plastic spatula. Pour the wet ingredients into the well that you created. Fold the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients together using the spatula, being careful not to over mix. Evaluate the dough.
