The Professional Baking Protocol
1. The Creaming Technique
Whisk butter and sugars until pale and fluffy. This traps air for a lighter bite.
2. The Secret Chill
Pro-Tip: Chill the dough for 30 mins. This prevents spreading and makes the edges extra crispy.
3. The Golden Bake
Bake until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft and gooey. They will firm up as they cool!
