Everyone likes their cookies a different way. While some prefer soft, chewy cookies, others look for a cookie with snap and crispy, lacy edges. This also varies greatly based on the type of cookie you're baking. Here are 5 tips to make crispy cookies.

While brown sugar keeps your cookies moist and soft, white sugar and corn syrup will help your cookies spread and crisp in the oven. Using more white sugar in your cookies will result in a crispier end product.

To achieve a crispy cookie, don't store the dough in the fridge. Baking your cookies right after making the dough will encourage them to spread in the oven, resulting in an extra-crispy cookie.

If you're looking for crispy cookies, smash down your dough balls before baking, which will encourage them to flatten in the oven.

Bang the pan. Once your cookies have fully baked, remove the sheet tray from the oven and bang it on the countertop. This encourages the cookies to spread and flatten even more than they did in the oven.

Cookies that are rolled out and cut into shapes, such as slice-n-bakes or sugar cookies, rather than scooped into balls also tend to be crispier.
