To help keep chocolate chips from sinking and flattening in your baked goods, lightly fold a little extra flour into the dough and make sure you chill your cookie dough before baking.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
-
Add a Little Extra Flour: Incorporating a small amount of additional flour to your batter or dough provides more structure, giving the chocolate chips something to cling to and preventing them from sinking and flattening.
-
Chill Your Dough: Refrigerating your dough allows the fats to solidify. This helps the cookies spread less during baking. The solid fats take longer to melt, allowing the dough to set before the chocolate chips have a chance to flatten.
