Mixing and Baking Tips

  • Don’t Overmix: Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
  • Consistent Size: Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to ensure all your cookies are the same size. This helps them to bake evenly.
  • Spacing: Leave enough space between each cookie on the baking tray. They will spread a bit as they bake.

Storage Tips

  • Cooling: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before storing. This helps maintain their texture.
  • Storing: Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature to retain their freshness. They usually last well for about a week.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the cookie dough balls or the baked cookies. For the dough, freeze them on a tray and then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
