Cookie Dough

Making and using cookie dough can be fun and simple, but it's not without its common problems and misunderstandings. People often have queries about how to achieve the correct consistency, why their cookies are coming out too flat or too thick, or why their dough is too sticky to manage. The mistakes people often make include not chilling the dough long enough, using warm butter, or packing the flour too densely. These can affect everything from the texture of the dough to how the cookies spread while baking. To get the most out of making cookie dough, measure ingredients precisely. Use a scale if possible. Make sure that your butter is room temperature but not melted, and remember to chill your dough before baking to avoid cookies spreading too much. You can also add extra fun to your cooking process by exploring many variations of flavors - adding nuts, fruit or even spices. Here are few little known tips: - To prevent a mess while cracking eggs, crack them into a separate bowl before adding them to your dough. - If you don’t have brown sugar on hand, you can substitute it with white sugar and a little bit of molasses. - Try to rotate your baking tray halfway through the cooking process for even baking.
