Butter Blunders
Cold Butter Issues
Using butter straight from the fridge can make it hard to mix properly, leading to uneven cookies. Cold butter doesn’t cream well with sugar, resulting in lumps and poor texture. Make sure your butter is at room temperature to ensure a smooth, even dough. Room temperature butter incorporates air better, helping to create a light and fluffy cookie dough.
Melted Butter Mistakes
Using melted butter can result in flat, greasy cookies. Melted butter changes the consistency of the dough, causing it to spread too much during baking. Softened butter works best to create a dough that holds its shape and bakes evenly. By using softened butter, you ensure that the cookies have a perfect balance of texture and flavor.
