If you have great baking skills, you would know that the smallest subtraction or addition of ingredients can make a huge difference. Still, so many other factors contribute to the result of your baking. Read on below for a few tweaks to make the process easier and the product even more delicious!
- Make sure your ingredients are kept at room temperature before starting.
- Use a cookie scoop for the cookies to make them evenly shaped and of similar size for the browning as well as baking.
- Make use of rimless baking sheets that have slightly slanted lips.
- Line the baking sheets using parchment paper, non-stick foil, or silicone baking liners.
- Bake one sheet on the rack at a time positioned in the center of the oven. To bake a higher number of cookies at a go, position the racks in the oven at the top and bottom thirds. Rotate the sheets from the front to back and bottom to top so they bake evenly.
- If only two baking sheets are available, let the sheet cool between baking the batches. Hot baking sheets will melt your cookie dough and cause a change in the shape and texture of the cookie.
- Let your cookies cool completely to prevent soggy bottoms.
- Store soft and crisp cookies separately. Using airtight containers is ideal.
Enjoy!
