In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Get an oven thermometer and use it to see if your oven is reaching the right temperature. These are usually fairly cheap to purchase and can save you many batches of burnt cookies and other items. Darker sheets hold in the heat, so you may need to reduce the baking time. Shiny sheets reflect heat outwards, so you may need to add a minute or two. If you find that your cookies are consistently burnt on the bottom, try lowering the baking temperature by about ten degrees. Cookie sheets without side rims make it easier to slide your cookies off when they are done. They also give you room for more cookies per sheet. To keep your sheets from bending in the oven, go with a heavier metal. Get a paper towel, dip it in shortening or butter, and rub it on to your sheets. Your goal is to create a thin layer of grease. You can also use a non-stick spray. Otherwise, you can just place a piece of parchment paper on the cookie sheet. Place this single sheet on the middle rack of your oven. If you cook more than one sheet at once, you'll likely overcrowd your oven and alter the baking time. However, if you choose to do two sheets, rotate them to ensure even baking. After you take your cookies out of the oven, let them sit on the pan for 3 to 5 minutes. Then, lift each cookie gently with a spatula and transfer it over to a wire rack. The wire rack should sit at least 3 inches (7.6cm) off the countertop or moisture will form under the cookies. If you are cooking in higher altitudes, then you may need to change your ingredients slightly and monitor your baking times even more closely. Start by experimenting with decreasing the butter, shortening, or sugar amounts if your cookies end up too large and burnt. Your baking time might also vary.
Summary: Check your oven's temperature. Adjust the baking time and temperature depending on your cookie sheet. Get rimless sheets for ease of use. Grease your sheets before baking. Bake only one sheet of cookies at a time. Let cookies cool on the pan. Make adjustments for higher altitudes.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Spread your compostable materials evenly across the cardboard or newspaper layer. Fill the bed up halfway with this material. If you're using a few different compostable materials, mix them together with your hands. Ideally, use native soil that's in your yard. If you need an alternative, go to a local gardening store and purchase topsoil or a soil substitute. Work your hand through the soil and make sure there's nothing in there that could obstruct the growth of your plants. If you find any rocks, simply move them somewhere else in your yard, or perhaps place them in a park or a beach later. Place the soil directly on top of the layer of cardboard or newspaper. If you're planting something that grows straight, like tomatoes, feel free to make the soil flush with the top of the bed. If you're planting flowers, leave some space between the top of the soil and the top of the bed. This ensures that the bloom of the flower appears more prominent than the stem.
Summary: Lay your compost on top of the newspaper or cardboard. Find soil to layer on top of your compost. Remove any rocks from the soil. Fill the raised bed to the top or near the top.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Hydrangeas are made from multiple small sections glued together, so make sure you have a fairly sizeable piece of felt to start this project. You can use multiple colors for a single flower if you want.
