Measure all ingredients accurately and mix according to recipe directions. If you run into problems, here are some common solutions.
Problem Solution
Burned Cookie Bottoms Use an aluminum silver-colored cookie sheet rather than a dark one. Watch cooking times carefully. Bake one pan at a time, on the center rack of the oven.
Soft Cookies Increase baking time slightly.
Unevenly baked cookies Size and space the cookie dough evenly. Bake only one pan at a time, in the center of the oven, and rotate the cookie sheet halfway through cooking time.
Sticky, unworkable cookie Refrigerate the dough until it is firm, usually about an hour. If it is still too sticky, work in additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough
texture improves.
Crumbly cookie dough Work in an additional tablespoon or two of milk (or another liquid from the recipe) or softened butter.
Cookies run together Space dough farther apart for subsequent batches. Use cooled cookie sheets.
Overly flat, thin cookies Begin with a cool cookie sheet. Do not grease the cookie sheet unless specified in the recipe. Use butter or margarine as specified in the recipe do not substitute
with low-fat or nonfat
spreads.
Tough rolled cookies Handle dough gently, use as little flour as possible on the rolling pin and work surface, and avoid re-rolling scraps more than twice.
Baked cookies stick Return the cookie sheet to the oven for a few seconds to rewarm and loosen the cookies. Remove crumbs before the next to the pan batch, lightly regrease cookie sheets (only if the recipe calls for greased sheets) or start over with a clean sheet.
Cookies break when Let cookies cool and firm up for an additional minute or two before removing them from the pan. Use a pancake turner removed from the pan with a wide, thin metal blade to get under the cookie easily and support it fully.
Cookie jar is mysteriously Make double batches and keep wrapped "logs" of dough in the freezer for cookie emergencies
