Why does butter temperature matter? |
Butter acts like the ‘glue’ that holds together the other ingredients. Because of its structure, butter holds the key to the texture, aeration, and shape of cookies. Many cookies call for ‘creaming’ the butter and sugar together before adding dry ingredients. This ensures the butter will be distributed evenly throughou... |
Should you use paper or foil lining? |
Lining baking sheets is one of the easiest ways to ensure the right type of baking and also makes for simple clean up. Parchment paper is the standard choice for most cookie baking, but it is not always the right choice. For thin cookies with a crispy bottom choose foil. Use the less-shiny side up in the bottom of your... |
Why does it matter how I cool my cookies? |
It comes down to how long the cookies should continue to cook. For many standard cookies, which are somewhat soft on the inside and a bit crisp on the outside, cooling for just a minute or two on the tray before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely is the right answer. However other cookies, including many sh... |
How do I bake a baker’s dozen? |
While baking cookies is a fun pastime, nobody wants to spend unnecessary time watching the oven. Using a baker’s dozen layout for your cookies will allow you to get more cookies done in less time. Plus, that leaves one extra cookie for the cook. Use the layout in the photo above. Start by placing the first ball of doug... |
Do I really need a cookie scoop? |
The short answer is no. You don’t really need a cookie scoop unless you are making cookies that will be sandwiched together. However, if you want cookies to be of consistent size and shape it is the best way to ensure good results. Further, using a cookie scoop is often less messy than scraping from a spoon. Cookie sco... |
What’s the best way to measure flour? |
Measuring flour properly is one of the most critical steps in consistent cookies from time to time. Also, improper measuring can result in a cookie that is too dry or tough. For best results use a scoop to gently shake the flour into your measuring cup. Then use a knife or offset spatula to scrape the flour level with ... |
Why do my cookies keep sticking to the cutter? |
Cut out cookies are fun to make, but can be tricky to remove from the cutter and even the surface. The answer is flour. Dip cookie cutters in flour before the first cut and after every two or three cuts. If your dough is sticking to the counter or parchment, dip the edge of a bench scraper in flour and gently work it u... |
Can I make cookies without a mixer? |
You can and you should in many cases. The single most common cause for tough cookies is over mixing. The mixer is great for creaming together butter and sugars, but beyond that most cookies require very little beating. Dry ingredients and extras such as chocolate chips, nuts and dried fruit generally only need to be mi... |
Why do recipes call for refrigerating dough? Do I really need to do it? |
The typical reason for this is two-fold. First, in some cases the flour needs time to work its magic. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, refrigeration is often recommended to allow the butter to come back to a hardened state. Even if the recipe doesn’t call for chilling, consider chilling and bringing the dough ba... |
How can I bake more cookies in less time? |
It’s all in the rotation. If you are going to make many cookies consider purchasing at least four baking sheets. Tip: Standard professional, rolled-rim baking sheets are readily available at restaurant supply stores and often far less expensive than gimmicky ones sold in retail stores. For maximum baking production arr... |

150 Wooster preserves the spirit of Soho through a combination of modern detailing and historic proportions. The building’s masonry-and-steel façade both stands out and blends in with the neighborhood’s classic cast-iron structures.

A deconstructed version of the prominent architectural features seen on neighboring buildings, this sculptural element references historic Soho but has a modern quality that contributes rhythm and textu... |

Abstract: French Migration and Crony Capitalism during Porfirian Mexico (1876-1911) |
José Galindo |
From the mid-nineteenth century until the end of the Porfirian era, 1911, a group of middle-class French immigrants from the region of the Low-Alps known as the Barcelonnettes relocated to different parts of Mexico, establishing a large colony mostly involved in the textile industry. The Barcelonnettes created a strong... |
The network they created gradually began to include politicians. In fact, this allowed them to work around Mexico's inadequate institutional framework: weak enforcement of contracts and restricted capital markets. |
The Barcelonnettes were able to permeate some of the most important sectors of the Mexican economy: industry, commerce, banking, housing, among others. Ironically, the business strategies implemented during the Porfiriato, which helped overcome institutional weaknesses, have contributed to the persistence of these defi... |
This paper seeks to understand the long-term effects of social networks and crony capitalism on political and economic systems. In my paper, I will illustrate these ideas by focusing on one prominent Barcelonnette family in particular, the Jean family. |

Report details Mexico's cartels, threats to U.S. |
A headline in the Ausitn American statesman that reads, Report details Mexico's cartels, threats to U.S. caught my attention as I realized that drugs and violence is already corrupting the United States without the interference of Mexico. It might as well have stated, Report informs the United States that the threat of... |
According to Kelly Shannon, author of the article, a seventeen page report has been released and issued to fellow members of Governor Rick Perry's Border Security Council. Throughout the report, Fred Burton, vice president for counterterrorism with Stratfor is stating that "the deteriorating security situation has prof... |
The report is suggesting that the U.S. is going to pay the price for the escalating violence from Mexico's durg cartels that are spilling across the border due to the weakness of Law enforcement on the U.S. side. It may seem that the United States has a powerful security system, however corruption, poor coordination, a... |
The main focus here should be on the number of drug related deaths in Mexico. In 2005 there were 1,543 and more than 2,100 in 2006 which leads to the estimation of 2007 being the deadliest year yet. You would think with such a high number in deaths two years ago, why hasn't something already been done to prevent this f... |
I do understand that the threat against the law enforcement working along the border is probably very brutal, however enforcing the law is very important in order to have a strong security system that nobody can get by and if the criminals are aware of the security strength then most likely they will not try to cross. ... |

KCI was awarded the development of the marginal Maasveld gas field in 2011. Initially considered to be a simple onshore gas production facility, this project faced a great challenge in meeting the product specification due to the presence of heavier gas components. The KCI project team successfully turned this challeng... |
Our goal was to supply the gas in accordance with the required |
specifications and at the same time enable LPG products to be separated in a way which is both economic and involves a minimum of risk. Over 20 different processing concepts were identified and evaluated to finally build what is now a unique gas development plant. |
KCI’s role in the entire project ranged from the Concept, FEED, detailed design, process engineering assistance, integrated control system engineering and procurement, to project management and commercial assistance. |
