Eggs are one of the most common cooking and baking ingredient, but it’s also too easy to make a mistake when using them. Adding too few or too many can ruin a dish, as well as not mixing them properly. Many egg mistakes can be fixed along the way, but sometimes you’ll just have to give up and start over. There’s one common egg mistake many of us make when baking chocolate chip cookies, so here’s how to prevent it.
People typically keep the eggs in the fridge, so when it comes to using them, we don’t always remember to take them out in advance. You probably didn’t know this, but the egg temperature can affect the baking process, and using cold eggs from the fridge is really not a good idea.
If you want to make the fluffiest, lightest cookies, you want to use room-temperature eggs. It’s really that simple, and this little hack can make the whole difference in the final result. Unlike cold eggs, room-temperature eggs will mix better with the other ingredients. If you plan to bake in advance, take the eggs out of the fridge the night before. If you didn’t do that, letting them sit in warm water for a few minutes will also do the trick.
