Some Tips to Keep in Mind!
- Chill the Dough: Essential for thickness and texture. Chill for 2-3 hours up to 3-4 days.
- Roll Tall: Shape dough into tall, textured balls for thick, bakery-style cookies.
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter, eggs, and any other dairy ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This ensures even mixing and a smoother dough.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
- Quality Ingredients Matter: Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate for a unique twist.
- Give Them Space: When placing the dough balls on the baking sheet, leave enough space between them to allow for spreading during baking. This prevents the cookies from merging into one giant cookie.

What Is the Secret to Making Good Cookies?
Use ingredients at room temperature at all times. Chewy chocolate chip cookies are made when white sugar and brown sugar are combined. Brown butter has a wonderful caramel flavor and can be substituted for white butter.
Do you flatten chocolate chip cookies before baking?
To ensure that every cookie I create is the same size and bakes evenly, I like to use a cookie scoop. I normally don’t flatten my cookies since I adore the shape a cookie scoop gives them. But if that’s what you’d like, then sure!
