Key Points to Avoid Failure in Cookie Baking
There are three key points to avoid cookie baking failures. Check them out below.
- Mix ingredients thoroughly.
Thoroughly mix the butter and sugar until the mixture turns white. Allowing air into the mixture when mixing will result in a crisp, light texture. Also, if you add the eggs all at once, the ingredients will not mix well, so divide the mixture into two or three parts and mix each time when adding the eggs. Butter, which is oil, does not mix well with eggs, but mixing thoroughly is the key to baking delicious cookies. However, after adding the flour, do not overmix to avoid gluten formation. The trick is to mix quickly with a rubber spatula.
- Chill the dough thoroughly.
After mixing the ingredients, let the dough rest in the refrigerator. Chilling helps to settle the gluten and give the dough a lighter texture. It also makes it easier to unmold and prevents the dough from spreading when baked.
- Make the thickness even.
Roll out the dough from various directions with a rolling pin to ensure uniform thickness. Uneven thickness will result in uneven baking and raw dough.
