Common Cookie Problems and How To Fix Them

Your cookies crumble and are too hard

• You probably over-mixed the dough. Too much gluten leads to tough cookies.
• You  might have over baked your cookies in a low temperature oven.

Your cookies stick to the pan

• Make sure to line your baking tray with nonstick baking paper or silicone mate.
• Let the cookies cool on the pan to set.

Your cookies are too flat or spread out too much

• You may have greased your baking pans too excessively or placed dough on warm baking sheets.
• Your dough might have been too warm before baking.
• Butter makes cookies spread if the dough is too soft before baking.
• There is a high ratio of liquid compared to dry ingredients.

Your cookies are too dry.

• You might have measured and added too much flour.
• The dry to liquid ingredient ratio of the recipe is not right.
