Notes

  • Sugars: The brown sugar helps to make the cookies chewy, and superfine or caster sugar helps balance the sweetness and give our edges that crispy texture. These make a great combination, though you could completely replace with brown sugar.
  • Why freezing the cookie dough makes better cookies: It’s not essential to freeze your cookie dough; but freezing does a couple of things which just improves the baked cookies. Freezing helps chill them swiftly whilst resulting in a better overall flavor with a soft interior and lightly crispy exterior.
  • Ice Cream Scoop: The scoop used here creates medium or regular sized cookies with a diameter of 5 centimeters / 1.97 inches.
