If You Garnish the Tops of Your Cookies with Nuts

If you garnish the tops of your cookies with nuts, fruits, or other items, it is important to __________________________________ so that the garnishes do not fall off after baking.

A) gently press the items on top of the cookies as soon as they are panned
B) macerate the items in a flavored syrup or liquor
C) add a drop of buttercream icing to the bottom of the item before it is pressed onto the baked cookie
D) remove the cookies from the oven halfway through their baking time, place the items on top of the cookies, and then return the cookies to the oven for the other half of their baking time
