  • 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!

Be sure to follow along for more tips. And comment below or save this post if you want to be the first to know when my Brown Butter CHUNKY M&M Double Chip cookie recipe is posted! 😘
  • Are we letting the Grinch help us make these or nah? 🧐😅

Either way you should definitely give these Grinch cookies a try!

  • Did I lose a significant chunk of my thumb to a mandolin last night? Yes.

Had I already prepped a bunch of goodies for the Sugar Shack tomorrow so I’m committed now? Also yes.

I’m about to have my little kitchen elves bake up and package so many delicious things! We’ll have the stand out and packed with your favorite treats tomorrow at 8am- don’t leave me hanging! 😘
