Video Summary:

• Buy larger cookie sheets (that will fit inside your oven) rather than small ones. This will allow you to bake more cookies (bigger batches) at once.
• Consider purchasing recycled parchment paper, baking cups, etc.
• Make drop cookies rather than refrigerator cookies, saves time as well as less energy loss from opening and closing the fridge frequently.
• Instead of using a mixer to make frosting, melt chocolate and use a bag to drizzle over baked items.
• Buy metal utensils rather than plastic, they last longer, more durable.
• Be prepared before you open the oven door, get the thermometer ready, your oven mitts, etc., less energy loss.
