The perfect texture for your cookie dough should be well-balanced to bake evenly – not too dry, and not too soft. Don’t use too much flour – this often the reason why the chocolate chip cookies flatten. For best results, chill the dough in the refrigerator for about an hour before baking. This helps create chocolate chips cookies with a soft center and crispy edges. Using a stand mixer or an electric mixer is also a good tip to mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, so you get an homogeneous texture before baking.

The best chocolate chip cookies are between 3 and 4 inches (7,5 to 10 cm) in size (as a rule of thumb). With 15mn baking time, this size ensures the perfect texture for your cookies, with crispy edges and a soft center.

Yes, the type of sugar makes a big difference. Due to its acidity, brown sugar will make your cookies softer and chewier, whereas white sugar, with its neutral pH, will make them lighter and crisper.

Your cookies flatten because you used too much flour, or used melted butter instead of room temperature butter.

Yes, you can use peanut butter! Peanut butter adds a deep, savory sweet nuttiness to your cookie dough. Peanut butter also makes cookies softer and moister, and it adds some protein. You should use a creamy, unsalted peanut butter to keep good tasting balance in your cookie recipe. As peanut butter tends to spread less, you can use a roll dough to slightly flatten your cookie dough before baking.
