]]>Keep the Butter Soft
If you prefer your gingerbread cookies soft, be sure to use softened butter, not melted. Just remember to take the butter out of the fridge a day before baking, and it will be just right.

(@oceansofstars)Get Creative With Spices
While gingerbread cookies traditionally include ginger, cinnamon, and cloves, you can definitely play around with different spices and their amounts to create your very own special flavor.
Chill the Dough
After mixing the dough, it’s important to let it chill. The dough needs to be firm, or your cookies might lose their shape while baking. And that would be a bit of a bummer, especially if you’ve used fun molds to create special shapes.
Store in Containers
Once you’ve followed all the steps and achieved the perfect cookies, keep them in tightly sealed containers, like jars with lids, for up to a week. Well, that’s if they manage to last that long!

]]>Incorporate More Moisture
One thing that has a big effect on your dough’s chewiness is its moisture content. More moisture will make your cookies chewier … to a point. You don’t want to add too much wetness or your cookies will run and spread, making them crunchy instead of chewy.
There are a few ways to add moisture. First, you can swap out some of the white sugar for brown sugar, which has molasses, or even add a teaspoon to a tablespoon or molasses or syrup if you need the white sugar. You can try using two yolks instead of a full egg, as the fatty yolks won’t dry out as fast as egg whites. Finally, you can try replacing some or all of the butter with shortening: butter has water that can evaporate in the oven, while shortenings full-fat makeup will retain its moisture better.
Technique
One thing many professional bakers do is let their dough set in the fridge for an hour or so. This will also help promote chewiness. Finally, try experimenting with varied baking times and temperatures. Depending on your recipe, you may find there is a profound effect on your cookie’s texture.

]]>Cookie Scoops
Cookie scoops are very useful because they’ll help you bake a perfect batch of cookies that are all the same size and shape. These scoops are also very versatile and you can use them for ice cream, muffins, cupcakes, and even for making meatballs.
Cookie Sheets
Investing in quality cookie sheets is the first thing every aspiring baker should do because not all cookie sheets are created equally. For example, dark cookie sheets absorb more heat and that’s why they can easily over-bake cookies.
Cooling Racks
The way you cool-baked cookies is also extremely important, even though many people underestimate this step. Leaving cookies on a baking sheet will probably cause them to be soggy, but you can avoid this mistake by using a cooling rack that will allow air to circulate and keep your cookies crispy.

]]>Chill the Dough
The main reason why most recipes instruct you to chill the cookie dough is that the dough is will be too warm or too soft after mixing. In that case, it’s best to leave it in the fridge to chill overnight or at least for one or two hours.
Adding Too Many Liquid Ingredients
Measuring ingredients correctly is the most important step if you want to bake the perfect cookies, and this is best done by using a kitchen scale. One of the reasons why your cookies are spreading in the oven is because you used too many liquid ingredients like sugar, eggs, milk, and more.
Hot Baking Sheet
When baking more than one batch of cookies always let your baking sheet cool in between batches because placing cookie dough onto a hot baking sheet can easily ruin the cookies.
Oven Temperature
Last but not least, use a thermometer to check oven temperature because the cookies will likely spread if it isn’t hot enough.

]]>The post What If You Accidentally Put Too Much Baking Soda In Your Cookies? appeared first on thedancingcucumber.com.
]]>Baking soda is the ingredient that makes cookies fluffy and chewy. Contrary to what you may think, more baking soda doesn’t mean better cookies. Adding too much of it will make your cookies lose the right texture and taste. Baking soda is an active ingredient, because it releases carbon dioxide and spreads the dough, which is exactly why you need to put the right amount in every recipe.
What if you already put too much baking soda? First, see if you can get some of it out. If that’s impossible and if you know how much more you’ve added, try increasing the amount of the other ingredients. This can work if you mixed up the measurements, for example, if you put a tablespoon of baking soda instead of a teaspoon.
If your dough is already mixed, if you don’t know how much more baking soda you’ve added, or if your cookies are already in the oven, we don’t really have good news. You can wait and see how they turn out but chances are you’re going to have to start the whole job over.

“The three biggest misconceptions surrounding this video: I sell my cookies (I do not; I am a content creator); the $10 price was for the emoji cookie in the viral video (it was not: it was for the mermaid tail cookie in the video it was responding to); and that I was quoting my actual salary (the answer was all a hypothetical scenario),” she tells Bored Panda in an interview.
