Notes
These cookies are reminiscent of the popular Archway cookies. They were a favorite of mine growing up.
These cookies have no artificial flavors and high fructose corn syrup. And they have that fresh-baked taste.
Like for most cookie recipes, you want to use unsalted butter.
General Baking Tips:
Always measure dry ingredients with a dry measuring cup. Measure with dry measuring cups or weigh dry ingredients.
Always measure liquid ingredients with liquid measuring cup
Never break eggs directly into recipe ingredients. Break eggs into a separate bowl, in case you get any shells, so that you can pull them out.
Make sure that you know what temperature your oven is set at. Buy an oven thermometer and check oven temperature regularly.
Always check baked goods, like cakes or quick breads with cake tester, placed in center. If the tester comes out clean, it’s done.
