Baking Tips for Perfect Crispy Cookies
- Chill the Dough: For thinner, crispier cookies, chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This allows the butter to firm up, preventing the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Use Parchment Paper: Lining your baking sheet with parchment paper ensures the cookies bake evenly and don’t stick, leading to perfectly crispy edges.
- Watch the Timing: Keep a close eye on the cookies as they bake. Crispy cookies go from perfect to overdone in a matter of minutes. Pull them out just as they start to turn golden brown.
- Customize Your Chocolate Chips: For a unique flavor twist, try using a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips, or even white chocolate!
