Baking Tips for Soft Cookies
To ensure your cookies remain soft, avoid overbaking them. It’s always better to remove them from the oven when they still look slightly underbaked, as they will continue to firm up while cooling. Also, storing them in an airtight container will help retain moisture, keeping them soft and delicious for longer!
