For all of you cookie makers, how to you get your cookies to keep their shape when you bake them. I have tried the nfsc on here the wilton recipe and several others but they all spread somewhat. I have seen some cookies that look just like they did when they were cut, this was after they were baked, how do you do it???
I put mine in the freezer for 15 minutes before popping them in the oven and increase the time a little. I take them out when starting to brown on the edges. The only problem I have had with this is I have to use parchment paper on my pans instead of my silcone mats as the mats buckle on me. Not sure why. they are thin and probably not the best mats. I got them at a school fundraiser. Someday I will invest in good ones and see if it happens with those as well. Hope this helps, Lynda
I make sure they are really chilled well before I put them in the oven too.
I used to freeze mine for 15 minutes or so too. Now I just underbake them by a minute or so. That seems to work well and the cookies are nice and soft. You just have to let them cool on the pan a few extra minutes so they keep baking once you take them out of the oven.
Thanks for all the advice, i will try both next time I make cookies!!
