Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Combine the flour and salt. Cream the butter and sugar together. Blend in the egg and vanilla. Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Shape the dough into a ball and flatten it. Cover the dough and chill it for a couple of hours.

Answer: Add 2 cups (350 g) of all-purpose flour that's been sifted and teaspoon (1 g) of salt to a medium. Whisk them together until they're blended, and then set the bowl aside. Add 1 cup (227 g) of butter that's been softened to room temperature and a cup (200 g) of granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat the two together on medium-low for 1 minute if you want cookies that hold their shape very well or 3 to 4 minutes if you prefer light, fluffy cookies that don't hold their shape quite as well. You can also cream the butter and sugar with a handheld electric mixer. Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoons (7 ml) of vanilla extract to the butter and sugar. Mix until they're just combined. Reduce the mixer's speed to low, and slowly add the flour mixture to the bowl. Blend together until the flour is just incorporated -- don't overmix the dough or your cookies may turn out tough. Use clean hands to gently give the dough a round shape. Next, use the palm of your hand to flatten it to form a disc. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator. Allow it to chill for at 1 to 2 hours so it has time to firm up. If you don't want to bake the cookies right away, keep the dough in the fridge for up to 3 days or store in the freezer for up to a month. Frozen dough should be defrosted overnight in the refrigerator. When you're ready to roll out the dough and cut the cookies, let the dough sit out for 5 minutes at room temperature so it softens slightly.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Switch to either a microfiber towel or a t-shirt. Ditch the brush for a comb. Fight frizz with anti-frizz products. Apply leave-in conditioner at least once a week. Use hair clips to create volume.

Answer: Microfiber towels and t-shirts are gentler on your hair than traditional, terrycloth towels. Microfiber towels are also more absorbent than traditional towels, so you should use a microfiber towel to help your hair dry faster if you have straight or wavy hair. However, if you have curly hair, try using a t-shirt instead. T-shirts are less absorbent, and the extra moisture helps to create soft curls. Long sleeve t-shirts work best because they are easier to wrap and tie around your head. Hairbrushes will only add frizz to your thick hair. Find a comb, preferably a wide-toothed one, and use it sparingly, such as only in the shower or when your hair is already wet. Avoid combing or brushing dry hair, especially if your hair is curly, since the resulting frizz could get out of control. Apply a serum or oil suitable for your hair type to get silky, shiny hair. Try a gel-based product for straight hair and a cream or mousse for curly hair. Do not use products intended for blow drying as many of them are activated by the heat of the blow dryer. To protect the ends of your hair, apply an anti-breakage serum to them while your hair is still wet. While your hair is still wet, saturate it with leave-in conditioner from root to tip, or just from the middle down if you're concerned about excess oil from your scalp. If you don't have a leave-in conditioner, you can do the same thing with coconut oil, and allow the product to sit in your hair as it dries. This will help restore lost moisture to your hair and eliminate frizz. Avoid overloading your hair with too many products, since this can make it stiff or greasy. If you want to add extra volume to your roots, gather a section of hair at a time and lift the hair up at the root before sliding a clip in. Do this several times around your part and the crown of your head. Then remove the clips once your hair is dry and enjoy the extra lift.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Scrub your elbows. Moisturize your skin after scrubbing. Wear sunscreen.

Answer: Scrubbing your elbows helps to remove dry, flaky skin cells which become trapped in the elbow creases and causing skin to have a darker appearance. Use a loofah or washcloth to apply with exfoliating shower gel to remove excess dead skin cells from your elbows. Alternatively, you can make your own sugar scrub by mixing 2 parts sugar (white or brown) and 1 part oil (almond, coconut, or olive). Just remember not to scrub too hard or too frequently, as this may hinder natural oil production and cause your skin to produce extra cells. This can make your elbows even darker. Scrub gently just once or twice a week. Be patient and you will soon notice a big difference. Dry skin causes skin to darken, so remember to keep your elbows moisturized! Moisturize after each shower or bath (as hot water can act to remove natural oils from your skin), before you go to bed at night, and before you leave the house in the morning. For best results, use lotions which contain shea butter, jojoba oil, or olive oil. A heavy duty treatment is to apply a thick layer of petroleum jelly, coconut oil, or pure shea butter directly to your elbows before bed, then cover with a "sock sleeve" fashioned by cutting the foot of cotton tube socks. It is best to leave the protective sleeve on throughout the night, if you are able. Doing so allows you to apply a massive amount of moisturizer to your elbows without ruining your sheets. Additionally, the sock sleeve helps retain your body heat and liquefy the moisturizer, thereby assisting the absorption by your skin. Sun exposure can cause damage skin and make the skin on elbows and knees darker, so it's important to apply sunscreen before all outdoor excursions and activities. Harmful UV rays are present even when it's cloudy or raining, so you should make a point to wear sunscreen all year round. It might even be a good idea to make sunscreen application part of your morning routine.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Assess how bad the cut is. Wash your hands. Apply pressure to stop the bleeding. Clean the cut. Put on antibiotic ointment. Cover the wound.

Answer:
Inspect your cut to see if it is deep enough to require stitches, or if you can treat it at home. If the wound is gaping, jagged, or exposing muscle or fat, see a doctor as soon as possible. The cut should be stitched within a few hours to reduce the risk of infection or scarring. It is important to remember to wash your hands before touching your cut or scrape to avoid infection. Wet and lather your hands with an antibacterial soap, then scrub for twenty seconds and rinse. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Shallow cuts and scrapes will usually stop bleeding on their own. If bleeding persists, apply pressure to the wound with a clean cloth. If possible, elevate the wound to help stop the bleeding. Rinse the wound gently with clean, drinking-quality tap water. Wash the surrounding area with a gentle soap and water, avoiding the actual open wound, and pat it dry with a clean cloth or piece of gauze. Sterilize a pair of tweezers by cleaning them with alcohol, then use them to remove any dirt or debris that might be stuck to your cut. If dirt or debris remain in the cut, contact your doctor as soon as possible. Avoid using hydrogen peroxide or iodine to clean the wound, as they can further damage the tissue around your wound and make it harder to heal. Shallow cuts or scrapes can heal on their own, but adding an antibiotic ointment can speed up the process. Purchase an ointment (such as Bacitracin ) at your local pharmacy. Apply a thin layer to your cut after cleaning and drying it thoroughly. Once the wound is dry, cover it with a bandage. Alternatively, cover the area with a small piece of gauze and attach the gauze to your skin with medical tape. The bandage should be changed whenever it gets wet or dirty, or if blood soaks through. The dressing can be removed after a few days, once the cut has closed itself.
