Tips for making good cookies:
do not over-bake. 8 min at 350 is almost always perfect. sometimes i even just do 7.
Take cookies off of baking sheet immediately after u remove them from the oven, otherwise the bottoms of the cookies turn brown.
Too much flour = stiff bready, biscuit-like cookie
Not enough flour = flat cookie and/or cookie that spreads all over pan. For example, nestle toll house chocolate chip cookie recipe always turns out flat. Add another 1/2 c flour to the original recipe and... Bam! perfect cookie.
Basically, if dough feels wet, add more flour. I like to be able to pack my cookie dough into the scoop, w/ my hands.
crisco makes a better drop cookie, in terms of texture
Butter is better than crisco when it comes to cut-out sugar cookies.
For drop cookies: Small, round shaped, cookies, using above cookie scoop, turn out better than big cookies. (I typically pack in the cookie dough w/ my fingers and then push the button to drop the dough on the baking sheet.)
For sugar cookies: Roll dough thick . like 1/2" thick. and only use the bakeat350 cookie recipe. Make sure you don't overbake sugar cookies. 7 min at 350 makes them perfect.
Sour cream or cream cheese in a cookie recipe is never a good thing. It makes for cookies with a cardboardy texture. Unless you like that ): (cream cheese, is however great in frosting)
