Why Are My Cookies Taking So Long to Bake?

Baking cookies should be a quick and easy task, but sometimes it can feel like your cookies are taking forever to bake. If you're wondering why your cookies are taking so long to bake, here are a few possible reasons:

  • Oven temperature: Ensure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before placing your cookies in it. An inaccurate oven temperature can lead to uneven baking and longer baking times.
  • Thick dough: If your cookie dough is too thick, it will take longer to bake through. Try thinning the dough slightly with a little more flour or milk.
  • Overcrowding: Avoid overcrowding your baking sheet with cookies. This can restrict airflow and prevent your cookies from baking evenly.
  • Improper baking sheet: Use a baking sheet that is large enough to accommodate your cookies without overcrowding. A dark-colored baking sheet will also help your cookies bake more quickly.
  • Old baking powder or soda: Baking powder and baking soda are essential for leavening cookies. If they are old or inactive, your cookies will not rise properly and will take longer to bake.

  • What is the best way to store cookies? Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • How can I prevent my cookies from burning? Use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and rotate the sheet halfway through baking.
  • What are some common mistakes to avoid when baking cookies? Overcrowding, using old ingredients, and not preheating the oven.
