Tips
- Don’t scoop your flour, instead spoon it into the measuring cup, or shake it into the measuring cup.
- Don’t over mix your cookies.
- Use a cookie scoop to make sure all of your cookies are the same size.
- I love to make my cookie dough, roll it into balls, and then freeze it in a plastic bag to eat later.
- You can freeze the dough for 10 minutes to make sure that the cookies won’t spread.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to keep your cookies from sticking to the pan.
- Use an oven thermometer to ensure your oven is actually at the temperature it says it is.
- If your oven has hot spots, make sure you turn your pan half way through the bake.
- Remove cookies earlier rather than later to keep them from overcooking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
