- Use quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Use real butter, high-quality chocolate, and fresh spices.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The temperature of the oven will affect the texture of the cookies. For crispy cookies, bake them at a higher temperature. For chewy cookies, bake them at a lower temperature.
- Let the cookies cool completely: The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. Let them cool completely before storing or serving.
