How I shape my dough balls to give my cookies the best appearance after baking. I find that sometimes the mixins can get hidden within the dough balls especially if you roll them into perfect balls like this. So breaking them open like this allows for nice texture but also exposes the mixins (chocolate in this case). Just a little hack so the cookies bake up with beautiful puddles of chocolate. I also would add a few pieces of chocolate after too if I feel like it needs it. The end results are a few videos back if anyone is curious to see how they turn out! #homebakery #cookiebusiness #inlandempiredesserts #inlandempirefood #homemadecookies
