💡 Pro Tips

  • Chill cookie dough for 30+ minutes to solidify butter fat, preventing excessive spreading and creating cookies that are 25% thicker with better texture contrast.timing30+ minutes
  • Use a kitchen scale to portion 120g dough balls for uniform baking - weight consistency ensures even browning and prevents some cookies from burning while others underbake.technique120g portions
  • Cream butter and sugars for exactly 3-4 minutes at medium speed to incorporate optimal air for structure without overworking, which creates tough cookies.timing3-4 minutes
  • Add cornstarch at 1-2 tablespoons per cup of flour to create tender, chewy centers by inhibiting gluten development and absorbing excess moisture.ingredient1-2 tbsp per cup flour
  • Bake at 180°C for 9-11 minutes until edges are set but centers look slightly underdone - residual heat will finish cooking for perfect chewy texture.timing9-11 minutes at 180°C
