If you’re cookies keep turning into flat pancakes, here’s what you’re probably doing wrong: 👉🏻Your butter is probably too hot If your butter is still warm when you mix your dough, it creates a softer dough that spreads before the cookie has time to set. I like to let my brown butter cool for about 20 to 30 minutes before mixing 👉🏻You’re not adding enough flour Flour gives your cookies structure. When there's not enough, the butter and sugar melt faster than the cookie can set, so the dough keeps spreading. I like to weigh my ingredients in grams so I'm not accidentally adding too much or too little flour 👉🏻You’re not chilling the dough enough Chilling the dough solidifies the butter again, giving the outside of the cookie time to set before it spreads. #cookies #cookietips #bakingtips
