Tips For Better Cookies

Tips For Better Cookies

1.  Make sure that your ingredients are at room temperature.
2. Don’t forget to preheat your oven to the temperature stated in the recipe.
3. I like to use large mixing bowls – it cuts down on the splatter.
4. Heavy aluminum baking sheets work best.  They seem to produce evenly browned cookies.
5. I like to use either large or jumbo eggs.
6. Try to use butter and not margarine.  Also, use real vanilla for a better taste.
7. For chewy cookies, bake just until the dough is set, usually the shortest recommended baking time.  For crisper cookies, bake a little longer.
8. Let baked cookies cool on the baking sheets a few minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.  This will prevent cookies from breaking.
