Let’s Talk The Cookie Drop!
No we didn’t just make this up; it’s a real thing and you can read more about it here. The cookie drop is key for creating a gorgeously chewy cookie centre while still ensuring that the edge is crunchy and golden!
And let us tell you, this technique is as simple as it gets: when you remove your baking sheet from the oven, all you have to do is bang it hard, or drop it, onto a solid surface. It forces all the air out of the cookies and you are left with the perfect texture!
So if you’re looking for a “healthy” cookie option this Christmas season, these are the way to go – you can thank us later!
