Holiday Baking Tip: Using Salted or Unsalted Butter

This one is quick, so you can get back to your holiday preparations...

Before you begin the cherished ritual of baking Christmas cookies, we thought it would be helpful to remind you of the rule of thumb for baking with salted versus unsalted (sweet) butter. You can bake with either, but if you choose to use Challenge Salted Butter in your recipe, we recommend omitting one teaspoon of salt per ½ cup of butter added to the recipe. This guideline will ensure your cookies turn out perfect every time.

Merry baking!

    Cutting salt in cooking recipes if you are using salted butter is a great tip when it seems like you need some that probably a lot of people have never heard of before.
