Baking Tips for Cookies

  1. Drop cookies leaving about 2" in between to allow spreading.
  2. Make cookies of the same size and thickness, so that, they will bake at the same time.
  3. For uniformity in size and shape; drop cookies can be made using a ice cream scooper, while for the molded cookies dough, it can be weighed.
  4. If you have only 1-2 baking sheets, you can use it repeatedly for one batch of cookies without washing but make sure you dry and cool it first. Otherwise, the cookie dough will start melting before it reaches the oven and it will spread too much.
  5. Remove cookies from the baking sheet while hot. Do not wait for them to cool and become crisp in the pan.
  6. To avoid overspreading of drop cookies, sit the dough with cover inside the refrigerator for several minutes.
