PRO KITCHEN TIPS
Cookie Tips -
- Use a cookie scoop: they help create a more uniform size of cookies and consistency in baking.
- Preheat Your Oven: Make sure your oven is fully preheated before baking the cookies. This will make your baking more consistent and even.
- Space Cookies Appropriately: Leave enough space between cookie dough ball on your baking sheet. This will prevent them from spreading into each other. t
- Underbake Slightly: Remove the cookies from the oven when the edges are just starting to turn golden brown. They'll continue cooking slightly on the hot baking sheet outside the oven. This will result in a more chewy cookie.
How do I get the melty chocolate chunk tops?
To get the melty pools on top I like to add a chocolate chunk or two chocolate chips to the very top of the cookie. When the cookies come out of the oven take a butter knife and spread it around a little. Then add the sea salt and it will stick perfectly. The best mouth watering presentation.
