Tips and Tricks
- Room temperature ingredients. Use room temperature ingredients (butter, eggs, etc) for the best cookies.
- Measure the flour correctly. Make sure that your flour is measured correctly. Do not pack the flour into your measuring cups. Make sure to use a spoon to gently spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a flat edge.
- Line the baking sheet. I like to use parchment paper or a baking mat.
