Tips for making Salted Caramel-Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Try to avoid overmixing: We want to make sure our cookies stay nice and tender, crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside (that’s the way I LOVE my cookies). If we overmix the batter, the flour will begin to develop, resulting in a much tougher cookie.
- More chocolate chips, ALWAYS: If you’re like me, a chocolate chip in every bite isn’t just yummy… its ESSENTIAL. When in doubt, always add more chocolate chips (my motto).
