Thread: Baking Cookies

Did I translate the English in Spanish correctly?


Leave at least an inch of space between the cookies because they will spread when they are baked. And you can fit twelve cookies on a cookie sheet at a time.

Dejemos lo menos una pulgada de espacio entre las galletas porque extenderán cuando las hagan. Y puedan encajar doce en doce las galletas en la charola.

I would say: Dejen por lo menos una pulgada de espacio entre las galletas porque crecerán al cocinarse. Y pueden colocar doce galletas en cada bandeja.
The word charola ist used in South America, I think. In Spain we use bandeja.

Dejen por lo menos una pulgada/un espacio entre las galletas porque crecerán al hacerse. Y pueden colocar doce galletas en cada bandeja.

I would not use cocinar para galletas. They bake, not cook, however, there is no precise word for bake in Spanish.

Hello ruht,
In Spain, is Mexico considered as to be in South America? Just curious.

Could we use "hornear" instead?
