Estimating the term…
A method for providing individually baked products comprising the steps of providing an uncooked dough sheet or block which has separable portions of predefined shape, separating one or more portions from the sheet or block and then baking the portions to obtain individually baked products. The shapes of the portions are defined by grooves, score lines, or combinations thereof and the portions are separated from the sheet by breaking then along the grooves, or score lines. The grooves or score lines may be intersecting or non-intersecting and substantially straight to define polygonal shaped portions, or at least partially arcuate to define the shape of an object having non-linear features, such as a cartoon character.
A method for providing individually baked cookies comprising the steps of providing an uncooked refrigerated cookie dough sheet or block in a generally rectangular configuration that includes a thickness, a surface, and separable pieces of dough of predefined shape defined by grooves, score lines or combinations thereof, separating one or more dough pieces from the cookie dough sheet or block, and then baking the pieces to obtain individually baked cookies, wherein the grooves, score lines, or combination thereof have a width of from about 0.5% to about 50% of the thickness of the dough sheet or block and a depth of about 3% to about 95% of the thickness of the dough sheet or block.
