Cookies are for me the best dessert. A small little bite of perfection. Small enough to sample more than one kind but satisfyingly sweet!
Here are some of my best cookie baking tips for delicious perfection.
Tips for Cookie Baking Success
- Ensure to use softened butter and eggs at room temperature. This allows the ingredients to incorporate properly. Take your butter out in the morning if you plan to bake so that it is properly softened.
- Melting your butter in the microwave will result in chewier, flatter cookies. Softened butter allows for pockets of air to form while baking to fluff up the finished cookie. A fluffy, gooey cookie is always better than a flat and melted cookie!
- When using a non-stick baking sheet, reduce baking temperature by 25 degrees to prevent the cookies from browning too much on the bottom.
- To ensure uniform baking, make the cookies the same size and thickness. The use of a cookie scoop promotes uniformity with the size of cookie dough drops.
- Use a cool cookie sheet for each batch. Placing cookie dough on a warm sheet will cause them to spread too much prior to baking. If you experience excessive spreading, a warm cookie sheet may be to blame.
- Always bake cookies to the minimum time and then check for doneness. One minute too long can result in overbaked cookies.
- If your cookies come out with dark, crispy edges the cause may be related to a dark cookie sheet or one that is too large for the size of your oven.
Load these cookies up with chocolate chips! I love chocolate in every bite!
Hot from the oven with a cold glass of milk, I dare you not to eat one immediately! This recipe makes about 3 dozen cookies, so you can share with friends and neighbors…but do you really want to?!
