Do you love thiiickkkk cookies? Me too! They take a little more time but are not hard to make- you just need to plan in advance! Here are my tips for thick and chunky cookies! 1. Freeze your cookie scoops for a day and bake directly from freezing. Freezing your cookie scoops a day in advance helps the flour to rehydrate and fully incorporate with your wet ingredients. This results in a stronger, more cohesive dough that holds its shape, causing less spread. 2. Bake at a higher temperature. While I bake most of my cookies at 350 degrees, I bake these at 375. Starting at the higher temperature helps the outside of the cookie bake up quicker, holding the cookies shape while it completes baking and causing it to spread less. 3. Add baking powder. Baking soda helps cookies spread, baking powder helps cookies lift and puff. Using both helps give chunky cookies a nice rise to achieve that thick and chewy texture!
