Make the Perfect Cookie Dough

Understanding how ingredients come together is the most important part of guaranteeing that you will create the cookie of your dreams. For example, understanding that melted butter or melted brown butter will always create a flatter, crispier cookie. If you are using room temperature softened butter, it will create a thicker cookie as you are whipping it together with sugar to add volume, which will add height and thickness to your cookie. Also, understanding which sugar does what in a cookie is just as important. Light brown sugar and dark brown sugar will always give you a chewier cookie, whereas granulated sugar will always give you a crispier cookie. The tips I’ve laid out below are to create a thick and chewy chocolate chip cookie.
