Cookie Sheet Choices
Wrong Baking Surface
Using a nonstick cookie sheet without adjusting the recipe can cause spreading, leading to thin, uneven cookies. Consider using parchment paper or silicone baking mats for better results. These surfaces provide even heat distribution and prevent sticking, ensuring your cookies bake uniformly and come off the sheet easily.
Overcrowding the Pan
Placing too many cookies on one sheet can lead to uneven baking. When cookies are too close together, they can merge into one giant blob. Space your cookies properly to allow for even heat distribution. Giving your cookies enough room to spread ensures they bake evenly and maintain their intended shape.
