6 Pro Tips for Baking the BEST Cookies
There are so many things you can do to help get the BEST cookies every single time you bake.
- Read the recipe ahead of time. This will allow you to have all of your ingredients on hand and exactly how the recipe calls for them. For instance, if the recipe calls for softened butter you can make sure you have done that ahead of time.
- Mix the butter and sugars and light and fluffy.
- Don’t over mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
- Use a cookie scoop. This will keep all of your cookies the same size which will allow them to all bake evenly.
- Don’t over bake the cookies. This is especially true for a cake mix cookie but over baking cookies means you will not have a soft cookie.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet. By having the cookies cool on the baking sheet you are using the residual heat from the cookie sheet to continue cooking {but not overcooking} and setting up the cookies.
