# Cooking Tips:
01 -
- It comes together in under 30 minutes, so you can satisfy a craving without the wait.
- The warm creamy milk paired with a still-soft cookie is comfort in its purest form, no pretense needed.
02 -
- Do not boil the milk—once it starts steaming, turn off the heat, because boiling breaks down the cream and makes it grainy.
- Underbaking the cookie by just 30 seconds makes the difference between disappointing and unforgettable.
03 -
- Room temperature ingredients mix more smoothly and create a more tender cookie—take your butter and egg out 30 minutes before starting.
- The moment you pull the cookies from the oven, they look slightly underdone, and that hesitation you feel is exactly right, so trust it.
