# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You can have them in the oven faster than you can decide what to watch on Netflix
  • They achieve that perfect crunch without any fancy techniques or equipment
  • The ingredient list is short enough you could memorize it after making them once
02 -
  • These cookies continue to crisp as they cool, so don't worry if they seem slightly soft when they first come out of the oven
  • The dough won't spread like traditional cookies, so how you shape them before baking is pretty much how they'll look finished
  • Measuring the brown sugar by packing it into the cup properly makes a huge difference in how well the cookies hold together
03 -
  • If your dough feels too dry to hold together, add just one teaspoon of melted butter at a time until it clumps when pressed
  • Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking so the back cookies don't burn while the front ones undercook
