"Bakers around the world have come up with special tips and tricks to perfect cookie recipes. From adding cayenne pepper to chocolate chip cookies, which is one of Martha Stewart's best tips for baking delicious cookies, to freezing cookie dough before baking, there are always steps and ingredients that can elevate even the best chocolate chip cookie recipes and turn each piece into an aesthetic thing of beauty, as well as something that tastes amazing."
"When cookie dough is pressed tightly into a ball, a cookie will be more compact and dense, but if you're looking to bake cookies with crispy edges, this halved and jagged approach will result in the type of treat that could easily be placed on display in a shop. After the dismantled-and-put-back-together cookies have baked to golden perfection, the warm cookies that you take out of the oven will be thick and irresistible to walk away from. The texture of these cookies will be crunchy on the outside and perfectly tender in the middle - ideal to make the best ice cream sandwiches or to simply eat on the spot."
Bakers use an ice cream scooper to portion equal amounts of cookie dough for uniform cookies. Each scooped mass should be pulled apart into two equal halves, then pressed back together and placed on the baking pan with the rough, split side facing up. This shaping method creates jagged tops that bake into cookies with crispy edges and thick, tender middles. Cookies produced this way brown to a golden finish and remain warm and irresistible, making them excellent for ice cream sandwiches or immediate enjoyment. Additional techniques to elevate cookie recipes include adding cayenne pepper and freezing dough before baking to improve texture and flavor.
