Thick vs. Thin Cookies: You Choose

Do you like thick, chewy cookies or do you prefer thin, crispier cookies? Here are a few things you can do to get your ideal cookie.

Thicker cookie (less spread):

• Cream the butter and sugar for less time
• Use coarser sugar
• Keep the dough cold
• Use more flour
• Use less baking powder/soda

Thinner cookie (more spread):

• Use 50% cake and pastry flour
• Cream the butter and sugar longer
• Use finer sugar
• Bake at a lower temperature
