Here are 4 tips for getting extra creamy smooth cookies:

1. It’s all about the creaming:

Make sure that you really cream that butter and sugar, for a full 7 minutes in a stand mixer. That’ll get you the lightest, crispest cookies!

2. It’s really, really about the creaming:

Repeat the above process again, after adding in the egg. Cream for 5 minutes.

3. Add the Flour by hand:

Don’t overdevelop the gluten by simply pouring in the flour. Add and mix this by hand, stopping as soon as the dry flour has disappeared.

4. Use a cold baking sheet:

Don’t press your cookies onto baking or wax paper, and don’t utilise non-stick spray, as these promote sliding. Rather, get your baking tray as cold as possible, and press your cookies directly onto the tray.
