Tips For Making The Best Cookies

  1. Don’t alter the recipe, use all ingredients as listed.
  2. For a more firm cookie, refrigerate your cookie dough for 24 hours before baking.
  3. Always use butter, not margarine.  ALWAYS.  I prefer salted butter for my chocolate chip cookies.  Try it!
  4. Do not ever grease your cookie sheets.  Will make cookies spread and change texture.
  5. Don’t skip creaming your butter and sugars for a good 2 minutes.  Helps create a fluffy, chewy cookie.
  6. Try sprinkling dough with just a touch of salt for a perfect sweet and salty combination.
  7. Don’t overtake your cookies.  Cookies will continue to cook on hot cookie sheet when removed from oven.
  8. Let cookies cool completely before storing in containers. This will keep their crispness
  9. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for 3 days room temperature.

    how many cups of chopped candy do you think this was? I’m wanting to use leftover Easter candy and it’s all mini candy bars.

    These are a great use for the leftover candy I’m tired of staring at… but only have a bunch of mini butterfinger. How many cups of candy would you say the recipe uses?

  4. Graham Blackall

    These look DIVINE! I’m definitely going to have to try these out with a bunch of different candy bars.

    Seems like such a fitting Halloween treat!
