Tips
- Use two types of flour (all-purpose and bread flour) for the perfect protein percentage.
- A cold dough going into a hot oven creates a temperature shock that makes the cookies tall and thick.
- Pull cookies out when centers look underbaked for a perfect gooey center.
- Slam the tray on the counter 2 to 3 times the moment they come out to knock air out and prevent cakiness, ensuring perfect density.
- Salt balances sweetness and brings flavor forward.
