-
Use Room Temperature Ingredients:
Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before starting to ensure even mixing and better cookie texture. - Measure Ingredients Accurately: Use a kitchen scale or measuring cups/spoons to ensure accurate measurements for the best results.
- Don't Overmix: Overmixing can result in tough cookies, so mix ingredients until just combined.
- Chill the Dough: Refrigerating the dough before baking can help cookies hold their shape and prevent spreading in the oven.
- Use Parchment Paper: Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent cookies from sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Preheat Your Oven: Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking for even and consistent baking.
- Rotate Baking Sheets: Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking to ensure even baking of all cookies.
- Cool Baking Sheets: Allow baking sheets to cool between batches to prevent cookies from spreading too much.
- Decorate Carefully: Decorate cookies once they have fully cooled to prevent frosting or decorations from melting.
- Store Properly: Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent them from drying out.
