Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
To ensure your cookies turn out perfect every time, here are a few of my best kitchen secrets:
- Chill Your Dough: If you prefer thicker cookies, chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps prevent spreading!
- Baking Sheet Matters: Use parchment paper to line your baking sheets. It prevents sticking and ensures even baking.
- Swapping Ingredients: If you don’t have brown sugar, you can use an equal amount of white sugar, though brown sugar adds a delicious moisture and flavor.
- Storing Leftovers: Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week—if they last that long!
