Notes
Prepare in Advance: Before diving in, make sure to read the entire recipe and double-check your ingredients. It ensures you're not missing anything midway through baking.
Accurate Flour Measurement: The key to a perfect cookie often lies in the exact amount of flour. To measure accurately, fluff up your flour in its container. Use a spoon to transfer it to a dry measuring cup, overfilling it slightly. Level it off with the straight edge of a knife for precision.
Prep the Baking Sheet: For best results, line your baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Using butter or cooking spray can lead to excess greasiness, causing your cookies to spread too much.
Avoid Overbaking: Keep an eye on your cookies and pull them out when the edges just start to brown. Overbaked cookies lose that ideal chewy texture.
Try Ice Cream Sandwiches: Elevate your cookie game by turning them into ice cream sandwiches. Just take two cookies and add a scoop of your favorite softened ice cream in the middle. Vanilla ice cream pairs exceptionally well for this treat.
