Nestlé Toll House Spotlights Baking “Trends” That Use… Premade Cookie Dough!

According to baking products maker Nestlé Toll House, three major baking “trends” are in play in 2015, all identified by Lucien Vendôme, director of culinary innovation, and all using Toll House products. The “speed scratch” trend involves the use of unusual ingredients and premade dough to simplify preparation. “Farmers market inspired baking” uses ingredients that are in season and Toll House dough like Harvest Apple cookie dough. The third trend is termed “tradition reinvented.” To create a “Latin inspired” treat, for example, add corn flour to sugar cookie dough. The baked cookies are then sandwiched around dulce de leche filling and flavored with spice and honey.
