Instructions

  1. Baking Pan

    • 1

      Spread vegetable shortening or butter around the bottom and sides of the baking pan, using waxed paper, a paper towel or your fingers. Place about 1 teaspoon of flour or cocoa in the pan and tip the pan around so the flour or cocoa spreads over the shortening or butter.

    • 2

      Spray the bottom and sides of a pan with a buttery nonstick spray.

    • 3

      Line the bottom and sides of the baking pan with aluminum foil, waxed paper or parchment paper.

    Dessert Tray

    • 4

      Dust the dessert tray with confectioner's sugar by placing some confectioner's sugar in a sieve and shaking it over the dessert tray.

    • 5

      Dust the dessert tray with cocoa powder by placing some cocoa powder in a sieve and shaking it over the dessert tray.

    • 6

      Place cut cookies on a piece of waxed paper or parchment paper and place it in the freezer for 1/2 hour. Take them out and place them on the tray. This will help them stay firm and not stick to the dessert tray.
