So, what is the secret to bakery cookies. If you’ve tried to recreate bakery-style cookies at home, chances are that your results have left something to be desired. But with a few simple tips and tricks, you’ll be able to craft the perfect cookie every time.
Place baking sheets in the center of the oven. Adjust the racks so there is two to three inches between them. And they are not at the highest or lowest rack placement.
Rotate Pans During Baking. Unless you are lucky enough to have a convection oven where the air circulated the heat all around the food, like a bakery has, it is recommended to rotate the baking pans.
Let the Cookies Cool
Moving the cookies off the baking sheet too quickly can cause them to stick or fall apart while you are transferring them to a cooling rack. Therefore, it is a good idea to let them rest on the baking pan for 2 minutes before moving.
Place them on a wire rack to allow the air to circulate around the cookie as it continues to cool.
