TIPS TO PREVENT COOKIES FROM SPREADING

Did you know?

Americans consume over 2 billion cookies each year. However, only 4.8 percent of American households don’t eat cookies

BUTTER TEMPERATURE

When mixing your cookie dough, it’s important to use butter at room temperature. Butter that is too warm or melted will similarly prevent your cookies from holding shape at all.

CHECK YOUR FLOUR

Instead of replacing flour in a recipe haphazardly, consider making a trip to the market for the flour specified. Also, I always recommend using a kitchen scale to measure your flour.

DON’T OVERMIX BUTTER AND SUGAR

Overmixing your butter and sugar creates a huge risk of cookie spreading. This can result in essentially melted butter that is liquidy instead of creamy.

THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE FOR YOUR COOKIE DOUGH

About an hour in the fridge after mixing your dough is considered the minimum amount of time to ensure that the dough is chilled all the way through.

TEMPERATURE OF YOUR OVEN

Cookies are typically baked around 350℉. A lower temperature often requires longer baking times and more opportunities for your cookies to spread.
