Something I didn't know about butter

"For clean edges on cookies and for even baking, doughs and batters should stay cold — place them in the freezer when the mixing bowl seems to be warming up. And just before baking, cookies should be very well chilled, or even frozen hard."

"When you cream butter, you’re not just waiting for it to get soft, you’re beating air bubbles into it.”
