ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a ready-for-use cookie dough which can be preserved in the refrigerator and which is prepared from flour, sugar, baking powder and fat.
Cookie doughs already exist on the market. This dough exists in tubular form or it is packaged in a cup. During use, the consumer should use a spoon or a knife and form the cookie in circular form before baking it, which requires manipulation of the dough. If the packaging of this cookie dough is made in the form of a block, a forming device is needed in order to give the cookie the desired circular form. In this case, the forming leaves pieces which must then be replaced or reworked.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention now provides the consumer with a ready-for-baking cookie dough which does not require any manipulation during use and which does not leave any dough pieces to be recycled or worked.
The invention relates to a ready-for-use cookie dough which can be preserved in the refrigerator and which is prepared from flour, sugar, baking powder and fat, in which the content of baking powder is between about 0.3 and 1.5% and which is provided in a precut form ready for baking or preferably in a form having grooves or score lines which define the pieces of the dough that are to be broken off and baked into cookies.
This is conveniently achieved in the preferred embodiment by providing the dough in the form of a block, preferably a rectangular block, which includes grooves criss-crossing the length and width of the block to define square or rectangular sections or portions that can be broken away from the others and then baked to form individual cookies.
In addition, if desired, the pieces of the dough can be provided with different colors, with specific figures, or with decorations thereon to enable the consumer to prepare these differences in the final cookie products from the single dough block.
