COUNCILS:
Keep the ingredients cold: To ensure that the cookies hold their shape while baking, it is important that the shortening and egg are cool when you begin mixing the ingredients.
Do not overmix the dough: Mix the dry and wet ingredients just until combined. Overmixing can result in hard crackers instead of soft and tender.
Use an ice cream scoop: To make all the cookies the same size and cook evenly, consider using an ice cream scoop to form the dough balls.
Leave enough space: When placing the dough cookies on the baking sheet, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can expand as they bake.
Let them cool completely: The cookies will be most fragile right after they come out of the oven, so let them sit on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
I hope these tips help you get some delicious mint, sugar, and chocolate cookies!
