Notes

Baking Tips For Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • When baking with butter and eggs it is best to bring them to room temperature before using.
  • Butter needs to be brought to room temperature so that it is soft enough to cream with the sugar.
  • When creaming butter and sugar the more time the merrier may be true, but once the flour is added to the less stirring the better.
