Spice Mix-Ups
Overusing Spices
Using too much spice can overpower the other flavors in your cookies. Spices should enhance, not dominate, the taste. Use spices sparingly to complement the overall flavor profile. The right balance of spices adds depth and warmth without overwhelming your cookies, creating a harmonious blend of tastes in every bite.
Incorrect Spice Substitutions
Substituting spices can alter the taste significantly, sometimes not for the better. Stick to the recipe or experiment cautiously to avoid unexpected flavors. Proper spice choices help maintain the integrity of the recipe, ensuring your cookies taste as intended. Careful experimentation can lead to delightful new variations.
