Hi there reader --
Welcome back to 5 Secrets for Baking Impossibly Soft Cookies!
Hope you enjoyed yesterday's tip for baking soft cookies! Did you get a chance to try the Soft Sugar Cookies? I hope you loved them!
Today I have another great baking secret to share with you...
SECRET #2 - It's All About the Eggs!
Add your eggs one at a time and make sure each one is fully incorporated before the next one goes in.
Take a moment to scrape the bottom and sides of your bowl with a silicone spatula to make sure there aren't any bits of butter clinging there. You want ALL the butter/sugar to get egg mixed into it.
And now the biggie: an extra egg yolk!
You'll notice that all my soft cookie recipes call for an additional egg yolk. Eggs provide structure + richness, so if you want an extra-soft cookie, an additional yolk will give you the added fats you need without causing the cookies to spread too much in the oven.
Now, Put This Tip in Action
You'll see just what a difference it makes when you try my favorite Soft Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe. These cookies are the ultimate!
A comforting classic, so soft and tender, with plenty of melty chocolate in every gooey bite!
