Cookie Tips

Category: cookies

Cookie Tips:

More Chewy: Remove the cookies from the oven a couple minutes before they are done or bake them at 25F cooler an oven temp for the same amount of time. Add more butter than called for in the recipe or add an extra egg yolk.

More Crispy: Add more liquid or reduce the flour. Use melted butter. Use white sugar instead of brown

Cookies spread too much? Chill the dough (or at least the butter and eggs).
More Cakey: Add more liquid or more flour. Use brown sugar instead of white. Reduce the oven temp by 25F. Add baking soda.

More tips - make sure the baking sheets are completely cool before baking the next batch. Bake one sheet at a time in the center of the oven and rotate it half way through the cooking time. If you must bake 2 sheets at once, rotate them during cooking.

Let cookies cool on the sheet on a rack for 5 minutes, then remove (unless the recipe specifies otherwise). Most cookies freeze wonderfully
