Recipes Tips
If you want your cookies to have a chewy texture, do not overbake them. The key is to take them out of the oven when the edges are golden brown, and the centers are still slightly soft. Also, make sure your butter is at room temperature before mixing it with the sugar. Cold butter will not cream properly and will result in a lumpy batter.
Another tip is to use good quality chocolate chips. The better the chocolate, the better the cookies will taste. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate, such as dark chocolate or white chocolate, to give your cookies a unique flavor.
Finally, do not overcrowd the baking sheet. Leave at least 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking. This will ensure that your cookies bake evenly and have a nice shape.
