  • Mix the dough well, but avoid 'over mixing' it.
  • Drop them on cool and ungreased baking sheets only.
  • One can use parchment paper or silicone liners to line the baking sheets.
  • Do not overbake them. Bake it exactly for the time mentioned in the recipes.
  • If you intend to store them for long, make sure you cool them properly, or else they will become soggy.
You can also mix and match and make a unique recipe of your own. Keep the cake mix ready beforehand, so that you can use it easily, whenever required.
