This was my first time baking cookies hence a few lessons learnt in the process. While the taste was spot on as usual I made the mistake of trying to remove them while still warm which resulted in a few of them cracking and crumbling. Thinking they weren’t quite done yet I dunked them into the oven for another couple of minutes which compromised the chewy texture. Moreover I had no clue as to how much thickness/size would be ideal and probably made them too thin. Next time i would not press them so thin and cool them in the tray for a good 5-6 minutes before trying to remove them for a perfect texture. The family loved them regardless. Thanks for another great recipe Kitten. I don’t know what I’d do in the kitchen without you
