Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Measure Accurately: Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients for the most accurate results. This is especially important for baking, where precise measurements are essential.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your cookies will taste. Use high-quality butter, eggs, and flour for the best results.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make your cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: The temperature of your oven is critical for baking cookies. Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking.
  • Don't Overbake the Cookies: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until they are set and the edges are just starting to brown.
