Notes
Pro Tips
Baking Sheets. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat for easy clean up. Baking. Every oven bakes and heats a little differently. Bake a test batch of 1-3 cookies to test the baking time for your oven Cookie Scoops. I have used a medium cookie scoop in these photos. It's a nice 3 bite size cookie. Cooling Racks. Allowing cookies to fully cool on a cooling rack is best Tried this recipe?Mention @bestcookierecipes or tag #bestcookierecipes!
