Notes
Chef Jenn’s Recipe Notes
- Not creaming the butter and sugar properly is how most cookies fail. It takes 3-5 minutes of whipping on medium-high speed in your stand mixer, or with a hand mixer, for the butter and sugar to whip properly. And always start with softened butter.
- Softened butter should be easy to press into but not melt.
- I use a cookie scoop to get the cookies all about the same size. You can use a spoon, but the cakes may bake unevenly.
- It’s hard to tell when these cookies are cooked, and many things can affect the cooking time, including how cold your cookie dough is, if your oven runs hot or cold, and the kind of baking sheet you’re using. You can try testing one cookie first, by baking for the recommended time, then pulling it out and letting it cool, then nibble on it to test it.
