However, when the baking process goes awry it can lead even the most level-headed cook to the brink of madness. After all, baking is a science and the smallest miscalculation or mistake can result in a frustrating finished product that doesn’t hit the mark or fails altogether.

Here’s how to fix common baking mishaps :

Cookies Harden After Cooling
– Make sure overnight temperature is accurate with over temperature.
– Is using a dark cookie sheet, reduce temperature by 25F.
– Grease cookie sheets sparingly, or use parchment paper.

Storage Changed Cookie Consistency
