Refrigeration Routines
Skipping the Chill
Not chilling the dough can lead to cookies spreading too much during baking. Chilling the dough helps solidify the fat, which controls spread. Chill the dough as directed to help the cookies keep their shape. Properly chilled dough also enhances flavor development, giving you delicious cookies with every bite.
Overchilling the Dough
Overchilling can make the dough too hard to scoop, leading to uneven baking. Follow the recipe’s chilling time for the best texture. If the dough becomes too firm, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping. This balance ensures your cookies bake evenly and have a consistent texture.
