# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The sprinkles make everyone smile before they even take a bite
- Perfectly chewy centers with crispy edges every single time
02 -
- Underbaked centers will firm up as they cool so remove them when edges are barely golden
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes prevents excessive spreading if your kitchen is warm
03 -
- Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing
- Rotate baking sheets halfway through for even browning
