Achieving evenly baked cookies requires mastering heat and humidity. **The Steam Secret**: Place an ice cube tray filled with water on the oven’s lower rack during preheating (375°F/190°C). As the ice melts, steam humidifies the oven, slowing butter melt and allowing cookies to rise evenly. **Step 1: Dough Prep**. Chill cookie dough for at least 30 minutes to solidify fats. Roll into balls and space 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined sheet. **Step 2: Baking**. Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway. Steam prevents edges from hardening before centers set. **Step 3: Cooling**. Let cookies rest on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.
**Texture Control**:
- **Chewy Cookies**: Add 1 tbsp corn syrup to the dough.
- **Crispy Cookies**: Replace ¼ cup flour with rice flour.
**Flavor Variations**:
- **Brown Butter Chocolate Chip**: Brown ½ cup butter before mixing.
- **Lavender Shortbread**: Add 1 tsp culinary lavender to dough.
**Common Mistakes**:
- **Overmixing**: Develops gluten, leading to tough cookies.
- **Wrong Fat Temperature**: Melted butter spreads too much; cold butter doesn’t cream properly.
