Notes

  • These cookies are reminiscent of the popular Archway cookies. They were a favorite of mine growing up.
  • These cookies have no artificial flavors and high fructose corn syrup. And they have that fresh-baked taste.
  • Like for most cookie recipes, you want to use unsalted butter. 
  •  
  • General Baking Tips:
  • Always measure dry ingredients with a dry measuring cup. Measure with dry measuring cups or weigh dry ingredients.
  • Always measure liquid ingredients with liquid measuring cup
  • Never break eggs directly into recipe ingredients. Break eggs into a separate bowl, in case you get any shells, so that you can pull them out.
  • Make sure that you know what temperature your oven is set at. Buy an oven thermometer and check oven temperature regularly.
  • Always check baked goods, like cakes or quick breads with cake tester, placed in center. If the tester comes out clean, it’s done.
