1 #### General Notes
2
3 - Concerning the baking of macaroons:
4 The macaroons are very soft when they are still hot, so they
5 need to cool a bit before they can be taken from the tray
6 without breaking them. This also makes it very easy to bake
7 them too long because it's easy to think that they aren't
8 done yet even though they become much harder later. They
9 should still be a bit chewy on the inside when they are cool.
10 - The recipes in this section contain a lot more sugar and fat
11 than I usually use when baking cookies and cakes throughout
12 the rest of the year. This is in part due to tradition. Old
13 cookbooks often used more sugar and fat in Christmas cookies
14 because those ingredients were expensive and only used in
15 large amounts on special occasions. The other reason is that
16 using lots of sugar and fat makes the cookies stay fresh for
17 longer, which is important because Christmas cookies are often
18 eaten over a period of a month or longer. It would be nice to
19 properly study how long the cookies stay fresh with different
20 amounts of sugar and fat, but I don't have the time for that.
