Frequently Asked Questions about Cookies (FAQ)
❓ Why do my cookies spread too thin during baking?
Melted or overly soft butter and warm dough spread fast. Chilling your cookie dough balls for at least 30-60 minutes prevents excessive spreading.
❓ How do I achieve soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies?
Use a higher ratio of brown sugar to white sugar, add a touch of cornstarch, and pull cookies when edges are set but centers look slightly underbaked.
❓ Should I use salted or unsalted butter for cookies?
Unsalted butter gives you precise control over salt content in your cookie dough for balanced sweetness.
