Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy Melt-in-Your-Mouth Cookies
Here are the five most important things to know about making the cookies in this book successfully.
More details about methods and techniques can be found in “FAQs” (opposite).
1 | Too much flour is the biggest problem in homemade cookies. Use an electronic scale or measure with measuring cups as follows: Spoon the flour lightly into the cup until it is heaped above the rim. Sweep
the flour level with a finger or spatula without tapping or shaking the cup. Dipping the measuring cup directly into the flour container will give you too much flour, resulting in heavy, doughy cookies.
2 | Use a national brand of unbleached all-purpose flour, unless another type of flour is called for.
3 | Check your oven temperature with a thermometer and correct for discrepancies when you preheat the oven (or have your oven recalibrated).
4 | Always preheat the oven before putting cookies in.
5 | Use medium to heavy baking sheets that don’t warp. Avoid those with dark surfaces, including those that are nonstick.

I love making cookies at Christmas time and to date I have made three different recipes. They are easy to make, use everyday ingredients and taste delicious. I'm very pleased with this book and can't wait until I try the other recipes.
