Baking Tips
- Bake 2 extra minutes for crispy cookies, or less for soft ones.
- For chewier cookies, use more brown sugar and less white sugar.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Baker's Secret: For the perfect texture, slightly underbake your cookies and let them finish cooking on the hot baking sheet after removal from the oven. This creates a chewy center with crispy edges!
