Notes
- Refrigerating the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes (up to 3 days) prior to baking gives these results:
- improve
- The moisture from the wet ingredients in the dough gets a chance to absorb properly into the dry ingredients, making the dough less sticky
- The butter will take longer to melt in the oven, limiting the spread of the cookies. As the cookies crisp up on the outside, they are not able to continue spreading. This keeps them thicker.
- The flavour of the cookies improve the longer the dough is kept refrigerated and they develop a wonderful rich caramel flavour.
