Egg Errors
Cold Eggs Problem
Cold eggs can cause your dough to seize up and mix unevenly, leading to an inconsistent texture. Let your eggs come to room temperature before adding them to the dough. This simple step ensures that your ingredients blend smoothly, resulting in a uniform dough that bakes evenly. Room temperature eggs help create cookies with a consistent crumb.
Overbeaten Eggs
Overbeating eggs can introduce too much air, causing your cookies to rise and then fall flat. This can result in cookies with a dense, heavy texture. Beat the eggs just until combined for best results. Properly mixed eggs help create a stable structure in your dough, ensuring your cookies bake up light and tender.
