Baking is a science, and getting a perfect cookie isn’t always a guarantee. Sometimes it takes more than simply following the recipe to a “t” for the perfect cookie. 

Ready to learn how to maximize the benefits of that gorgeous double oven or range? Here are our tips from Appliance Rescue Service in Dallas, Texas on how to bake the perfect cookies:

1.    Start with High Quality Ingredients

This is a must with any baking or cooking, but definitely applies to cookies. If you want great cookies, then you’re going to need to start with high quality butter, flour, and vanilla. Don’t ever substitute imitation vanilla extract for the pure vanilla extract; you’ll regret it.

2.    Rotate the Pan

When baking cookies, it’s important to get even temperatures throughout the oven so that all cookies cook perfectly. This is easily done with a convection oven, but if that isn’t available, then rotate your plan halfway through cooking.

3.    Measure Correctly

Did you know that there are specific measuring cups for measuring wet and dry ingredients? If you’re using a glass or plastic measuring cup with a spout, then this is for liquids; straight edged metal or plastic measuring cups are for dry ingredients. Using the wrong one could mean you’re adding the wrong amount of ingredients to the mixture – affecting the end result. 

4.    Don’t Over Mix

It’s easy to get carried away with your electric mixer, but resist the urge to over mix the batter. At each step, mix just enough to mix ingredients thoroughly. Over mixing introduces too much air into the batter, resulting in super flat cookies that spread more than they rise.
