Problem: Article: Shrinking a chip bag requires a few simple kitchen items, including two baking trays, two sheets of parchment paper, and oven mitts. Gather these items while preheating the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Get all of the crumbs and other food particles out of the bag. Leaving them in will cause bumps and irregularities in the bag after it shrinks. Dry the bag with a paper towel to help remove leftover particles. Lay the chip bag between two sheets of parchment paper. If you want your chip bag to have a flatter, smoother look, place the second baking tray on top of the parchment paper, sandwiching the bag between the trays. For a wrinkled look, leave off the second tray. Place the tray in the preheated oven and allow to bake for 10 minutes. Check the bag every 2 minutes to gauge its progress and make sure the bag is not being damaged. After the ten minutes are complete, remove the tray and peel the parchment paper apart to reveal your tiny chip bag. Take care when removing the tray and handling the bag. Both will be hot after their baking period. The bags will be small and hard, and generally difficult to shape. The bags become easier to bend if they aren't fully shrunk. A bag will shrink down to approximately 25% percent of its original size depending on whether you cook it for the fully suggested time, or a lower time.
Summary: Preheat the oven and gather your kitchen instruments. Empty and wash the chip bag you wish to shrink. Place the chip bag on the baking tray. Cook the bag for ten minutes.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Set it to 350 F (176.7 C). As the oven heats up, gather your ingredients and your tools: a small bowl, a medium bowl, a wooded spoon, a baking sheet, and a wire cooling rack. Line the cookie sheet with parchment paper if desired. If you aren't using parchment paper or a non-stick baking sheet, grease the baking sheet. Mix them in the small bowl and set the mixture aside to let it foam for a couple minutes. Use the medium bowl and the wooded spoon to mix the two until they form a smooth, creamy batter. Add the baking sodavinegar mixture and the vanilla. Stir to combine. For a deeper, richer sweetness, try brown sugar instead of white sugar. For a smooth, nutty cookie, substitute half the butter for peanut butter, almond butter, or your favorite nut butter. Once you've added all the flour, stir the mixture until it comes together to form a nice dough. If necessary, knead it with your hands to bring the last of it together. Possible additional ingredients can be added now, such as: Chocolate or carob chips Raisins, cranberries, or other dried fruit Nuts, including almonds, walnuts, pecans, peanuts, macadamias, or pistachios Use tablespoon-sized balls of dough, leaving one to two inches between the dough to allow the cookies to spread out. Bake for 15 minutes. When the cookies are ready, transfer them to a wire cooling rack and allow them to cool to room temperature. This basic cookie dough can be turned into chocolate, peanut butter, and chocolate chip cookies, or any other type of cookie you can dream of! Experiment with different sugars, flours, extracts, and additional ingredients to find your favorite cookie recipe. For flavored cookies, substitute the vanilla for maple, almond, peppermint, or another extract. For citrus cookies, add a tablespoon (15 g) of lemon or orange zest. For chocolate cookies, add cup (29 g) of cocoa plus one to two tablespoons (15 to 30 ml) of water or milk.

SUMMARY: Preheat your oven. Mix the vinegar and baking soda together. Cream the butter and sugar together. Sift in the flour. Drop the cookie dough onto the baking sheet. Experiment!
