There’s no cozier feeling than tossing a tray of cookie dough in the oven for a sweet, midday pick-me-up or a special occasion. Cookies don’t require the same amount of effort and time as a perfectly decorated cake with layers upon layers of frosting and decorations, but they still will warrant some attention to ensure that the batch comes out properly baked and delicious. And if you make careless mistakes, you might come out with cookies that are far from the sweet, soft treats that you intended to bake.
