Notes
Pro Baking Tips
Baking Sheet. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat to prevent sticking Room Temperature Ingredients. Softened Butter and Room Temperature Egg is best. Allow butter and egg to sit out for 1 hour before mixing ingredients together. Measurements. Weigh ingredients using a kitchen scale whenever possible. This is an ideal way to ensure proper measurements and consistent baking. Rolling in Sugar. I love to roll cookies in sugar. I find that the cookies flatten less and you get a nice sweet crispy outside of the cookie too. Baking Time. Cookies need only baked until the edges are set and center is no longer glossy. Over baking cookies will result in dry hard cookies. Cookies will continue to bake as they cool on cookie sheet.Optional Mix-ins
