Equipment
A sturdy mixing bowl is essential for combining your ingredients evenly. Tip: Use a glass or metal bowl for better temperature control.
If you have one, an electric mixer will make creaming the butter and sugar a breeze. Tip: Start on a low speed to prevent an explosion of powdered sugar.
A silicone spatula is great for scraping down the sides of the bowl and ensuring all ingredients are well mixed.
A non-stick or parchment-lined baking sheet ensures your cookies bake evenly without sticking. Tip: Leave space between the cookies to allow for spreading.
To keep cookies crisp yet tender, transfer them to a cooling rack after baking.
Variations
Looking for a gluten-free option? Swap the regular flour for a gluten-free flour blend (1:1 ratio). 👍 This will ensure you still get that wonderful texture without any gluten.
For a vegan variation, replace the butter with vegan margarine and use a flax egg instead of egg whites. 🥥 A flax egg can be made by mixing 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and letting it sit for a few minutes.
Faq
- Why does my cookie dough feel too soft?
This can happen if the butter was too warm when mixed. Simply chill the dough for a bit before shaping.
- Can I use regular chocolate chips instead of thermostable ones?
Yes, but keep in mind they may melt more during baking. The taste will still be delicious!
- What's the best way to store these cookies?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay fresh for about 3-4 days.
- How do I know when my cookies are done baking?
Look for lightly golden edges. The center might look slightly underdone but will firm up as they cool.
- Can I freeze the cookie dough?
Absolutely! Shape the dough into balls, freeze them on a baking sheet, then transfer to a bag. Bake from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
- How can I make the cookies chewier?
Try adding an extra egg yolk to the dough. This will increase moisture and give the cookies a chewier texture.
