Hi Cynthia,

I’ve never put it back in the fridge before. I always set a timer to help me remember. However, I found this on the Food Network and I think it will help:

Bear hugs!

I left the butter out too long and it”s too soft. Can I put it back in the Frig and start all over or will it have a horrible taste?

Hi Lisa. Let me begin by saying I love your work! I am a beginner and am learning lots of cookie tricks and find your tips and videos super helpful. I have a question. I am going to get out of my box and enter a cookie contest at a local baking supplier. Can I use your shrimp, crab legs and lobster cookie ideas? I don’t know if this is allowed or not. The prize is a gift card to shop at their store. I am not confident enough to post any of my cookies but do get a lot of compliments so I am going to try to get my name out there! Please let me know if I have your permission to use your seafood ideas for the contest. Best, Esmer

I didn’t realize butter could be too soft, although I knew melted is always a no-go unless stated in the recipe. Makes sense. Thanks!

In reply to Angie Pauly. Could you place a glass of water in there while warming it up? Just a thought.

In reply to Liesbet Schietecatte. My husband said you should never run a microwave empty.

Personally, I don’t think grated butter is touted enough! It’s great in biscuits, short crusts, etc. Nice job, Lisa!

In reply to Lisa. I leave it in for as long as I have between realising I forgot to take out the butter and when I need it :) Our bricks of butter are 500 grams, so bigger than your sticks, and take longer to soften.
