HOW TO USE YOUR BAKERY PARTY™
FIVE EASY STEPS!
1. Plug into an electrical outlet with the lid in the shut position. Power ON is indicated by
the RED light.
2. When the RED indicator light turns off and the GREEN indicator light turns on, the
BAKERY PARTY™ has successfully reached its desired baking temperature of 375
degrees Fahrenheit and is ready to go.
3. Raise the lid and carefully place your cookies, rolls, or biscuits onto the non-stick cast
aluminum tray. Lower the lid and allow the treats to cook for 6-8 minutes. Depending
on the type of dough or mix you are using, baking time may vary.
4. Once baking is complete, unplug the cord and remove the treats using the nylon
spatula provided. Be sure to always use either plastic or wooden utensils to avoid
scratching the non-stick surface of the non-stick cast aluminum trays.
5. Wipe off any cookie dough or excess food and liquid for easy cleanup and preparation
for your next occasion (See Cleaning Instructions – Page 4).
NOTE: NEVER use metal utensils such as tongs, spatulas, forks or knives as these can
damage the coating of the non-stick cast aluminum trays. Always use pre-cut portions
before placing into pans. Never cut food while it is in the pans as this will shorten the
performance life of the non-stick cast aluminum trays.
USING THE COOKIE MOLDS
You will need to purchase prepared frozen cookie dough or put together a favorite hard
cookie recipe from scratch. Choose a cookie dough that you can roll out flat. Cookies
will only stay in the shape of the mold when using a hard cookie dough or recipe. Select the
desired shape from the twelve different molds included with your BAKERY PARTY™.
Using your chosen mold shape(s), press down hard into the flattened dough and give the
mold a slight twist as you cut your shape out of the dough. Lift the cut shape with the mold,
(If the cut shape does not come up with the mold, then gently lift the form from the dough
with a spatula) and place directly on the hot non-stick surface of the BAKERY PARTY™.
Never put cookie molds directly on the surface of the BAKERY PARTY™!
BE CREATIVE…
With a little imagination, you can come up with endless ideas and special uses for your
BAKERY PARTY™. You will find this unique small appliance is the perfect answer when
you want to save energy and avoid using your large oven or stovetop during the hot
weather season! Experiment and have fun with other food items and occasions for use,

Sugar Cookies
A simple sugar cookie recipe with a tender, flaky texture and a buttery taste. Makes about
24.
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
Beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, mix until just
combined. Add flour and baking powder in intervals. Dough will seem as if doesn't have
enough moisture but continue to mix with mixer until combined (it will come together when
chilled). Divide the dough into four equal parts, shape into four disks, wrap with plastic wrap
and refrigerate about an hour or until firm. Preheat BAKERY PARTY™. Lightly grease non-
stick surface. Roll out dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper, about 1/4 inch thick for
crispier cookies and 1/3 inch thick for softer cookies. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters
and place inside BAKERY PARTY™. Bake for 5-8 minutes or until edges just start to turn a
golden color. For softer cookies, do not allow the cookies to take on color. Remove from
unit, let cool for one minute and then transfer to wire rack. Allow cookie sheet to cool
thoroughly before placing uncooked dough on it. Decorate cookies with icing or frosting and
sprinkles.
The dough can be stored in freezer undecorated for 2 months. Dough also freezes well.
NOTE: Yield varies greatly depending on how thin you roll out the dough and how large
your cookie cutters are, but an overall guideline is 24 cookies.
