Successful Bakng Tips
The cookies can be frozen with excellent results. If there are any leftovers, allow them to cool down completely post-baking. Subsequently, arrange them on a baking sheet and quickly freeze for approximately 30 minutes. Once they have solidified, transfer the cookies to a freezer-safe container or bag and freeze for a maximum of 3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw by taking them out of the freezer around 2 hours in advance.
Avoid overbaking the cookies to ensure they do not brown in the oven. Bake them for approximately 8 to 10 minutes until they are fully cooked but still soft. Use parchment paper to line the pan and prevent the bottoms from browning.
