Tips and Tricks

Note:To prevent the cookies from being too soft, quickly dip each cookie into egg mixture before coating with the crumbs. There should be a small amount of egg mixture remaining after all the cookies have been dipped. 
How to Store:Place any leftover French-toasted cookies in tightly covered container.  Refrigerate   up to 3 days before serving. 
How to Reheat:To reheat any leftover French toasted cookies, heat toaster oven to 300°F.  Place cookies in single layer on baking sheet.  Bake 1 min. on each side or just until heated through. Or you can instead reheat them in the microwave.  Place cookies in single layer on microwaveable plate.  Microwave on HIGH 10 sec. or just until cookies are heated through.  Be careful to not overheat the cookies as this will cause them to become soft. 
Substitute:Substitute vanilla nonfat yogurt for the whipped topping.
Special Extra:For more flavor, whisk 1 tsp. vanilla with the egg mixture and/or stir 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice into the cracker crumbs before using to coat cookies as directed.
