Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Measure Accurately: Baking is a science, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale for the best results.
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Many baking recipes call for room temperature ingredients. This helps them combine more easily and evenly.
- Cream Together Butter and Sugar: This step is essential for creating a light and fluffy cookie. Make sure you cream them together until they are light in color and fluffy.
- Do Not Overmix: Overmixing the dough can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies keep their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
- Bake at the Right Temperature: The temperature of your oven can greatly affect the outcome of your cookies. Make sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking.
- Let the Cookies Cool: Once the cookies are baked, let them cool on a wire rack before enjoying them.
