Cookie Baking Hacks

How can you take your cookies from pretty good to over-the-top amazing? Up your game with a few smart baking hacks. Here are some of our favorite tips for killer cookies:

• Use room temperature, unsalted butter. Unless the recipe calls for melted butter, opt for room temp to blend easily with dry ingredients. To get it to room temp fast, cut the stick of butter into pieces and let it sit out for 30 minutes before use.
• Just like butter, eggs should be room temp as well for easy blending.
• Want to deepen the buttery flavor? Let your cookie dough chill in the fridge anywhere from four hours to overnight before baking.
• For a gourmet finish, top your cookies with a sprinkling of high-quality, coarse sea salt.
• Want a chewier cookie? Check your batch 2-3 minutes before the recipe says they’re done. They may already be juuuuust right.
