Tips for Success

• Use room temperature butter for easier creaming
• Don't overmix the dough once you add the flour
• Chill the dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies
• Slightly underbake for extra chewy centers

• Pro Baker's Secrets:

  • Use cake flour for tender texture: This recipe calls for cake flour for the perfect chewy-yet-tender cookie. Don't have cake flour? Make your own from bread or pizza flour: for every 1 cup needed, measure 1 cup bread/pizza flour, remove 2 tablespoons, and replace with 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Sift together before using.
  • Weigh your ingredients: For the most accurate and consistent results, weigh all ingredients using a kitchen scale rather than measuring by volume. This is how professional bakers ensure perfect cookies every time.
