Why Do Cookies Develop Cracks?
Most cookies have top crusts that stay soft and flexible as they bake. However, if the top surface dries out before the cookie finishes spreading and rising, it hardens, cracks, and pulls apart, creating an appealing crinkly, cracked exterior.
How Can I Prevent Cookies From Cracking?
Cracking in cookies often results from issues with the sugar coating, insufficient or expired baking powder, or baking soda. To avoid cracking, use granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar, as it is more effective at drying the surface.
Why Does My Cookie Dough Keep Cracking?
Cracking in cookie dough usually occurs when the dough is dry or crumbly. This can happen due to over-mixing or using too much of an ingredient during the mixing process.
