Tips:

  • Soften Your Butter: Softened butter is easier to mix with other ingredients and helps create a chewy and fluffy cookie. Simply set the butter out at room temperature for about 30 minutes before you start baking.
  • Measure Your Flour Correctly: The amount of flour you use is crucial for the texture of your cookies. To ensure accuracy, use a kitchen scale to measure your flour. If you don't have a scale, spoon the flour into a measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
  • Chill Your Dough: Chilling the dough helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven and gives them a chewier texture. You can chill the dough for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Use Parchment Paper: Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking. This will also make it easier to remove the cookies from the baking sheets.
  • Bake the Cookies at the Right Temperature: The oven temperature is crucial for the texture of your cookies. If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and become dry. If the oven is too low, the cookies will not bake properly and will be undercooked.
  • Let the Cookies Cool Completely: Once the cookies are baked, let them cool completely on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help prevent the cookies from breaking.
