  • This trick is the key to soft, chewy cookies that bake evenly and don't spread, and will also make your dough easier to roll out.

The article from Food & Wine emphasizes the critical step of chilling cookie dough before baking, which is often overlooked but can significantly enhance the quality of cookies. Chilling the dough helps in several ways: it prevents cookies from spreading too much, leading to a better shape and texture; it allows flavors to meld, enhancing taste; and it gives the flour time to hydrate, which results in a chewier texture. The article explains that while it might be tempting to bake cookies immediately after mixing, patience in chilling the dough can lead to superior results, with recommendations to chill dough for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight for the best outcome. This step not only improves the cookies' structure and flavor but also makes the dough easier to handle, reducing stickiness and ensuring uniform baking.
