How long does it take to bake cookies at 350?
- Bake until cookies are golden around the edges and soft in the center.
- In a preheated oven, on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet this is typically 8 to 10 minutes.
- Be sure to stock the kitchen with helpful tools like this food scale, these measuring cups and a Kitchen Aid mixer.
These Christmas confetti cookies can also be made with a sweetener like granulated monk fruit for those who are following a sugar free diet. At this time of year they would make a great addition to a holiday cookie exchange.
What makes cookies chewy or crispy?
- White sugar makes cookies crispier while brown sugar makes them fluffier.
- Using or adding egg yolks can lead to a more moist, chewy cookie.
What is the secret to soft cookies?
- Underbaking the cookies is the secret to softness. Do not overbake!
- You can also use cornstarch in the dough to add softness and thickness like these Snickerdoodle Cookies.
