Oven Offenses
Incorrect Oven Temperature
Trusting your oven’s built-in thermometer can lead to incorrect baking temperatures, which can ruin your cookies. Use an oven thermometer to ensure your oven is properly calibrated. Baking at the right temperature is crucial for even baking and perfect cookies. This small investment can make a big difference in the quality of your baked goods.
Opening the Oven Door
Constantly opening the oven door can cause temperature fluctuations, affecting the baking process. Each time you open the door, heat escapes, and your cookies may bake unevenly. Keep the door closed as much as possible to maintain a consistent temperature. Patience is key to achieving perfectly baked cookies with an even texture.
