Baking cookies is not as easy as it seems and we often only realize that once we end up with a batch of cookies that is either too hard or too crumbly. However, there are a few easy hacks you can learn if you want to make those perfect cookies every time.
Measuring Your Flour Correctly
It might sound silly, but improper measuring is the most common reason for baking failures. Beginners should be extra careful when reading the recipe and measuring ingredients. It’s also best to use a digital scale instead of measuring cups.
Using a Light Baking Pan
Most people don’t know that dark baking pans absorb more heat, which means that your cookies are more likely to burn. If you’re a beginner, it may be best to stick to lighter baking pans.
Don’t Overwork Your Dough
Overworking the dough is a common mistake among beginners, especially if you’re making rolled cookies. Try rolling the dough as little, and as gently as you can to avoid this mistake.
The Temperature of the Butter
Your butter shouldn’t be too cold or too soft if you want your dough to be perfect. Let the butter sit out for 15 minutes before you use it.
