Baking Tips for Perfect Cookies Every Time:
- Don’t skip chilling the dough! A 30-minute chill helps keep cookies thick and prevents spreading.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- Watch your bake time closely. Cookies continue to bake slightly after removal from the oven, pull them when edges look done but centers still look soft.
- Use quality chocolate chips for the best melt and flavor.
