No 01 :
Relying Too Much On Your Timer.
Setting a timer and double-checking that your oven is set at the right temperature is just one line of defense when it comes to making sure your cookies don’t burn to a crisp. But lots of home bakers let their timer do all the work and forget to peer at them through the oven window.
How to Fix it?
Take them out of the oven once they fluff up and no longer look shiny. In fact, the only shine should be that of the melted chocolate chips.

No 02 :
Not Letting Cookies Cool Enough.
You’ve made perfect cookies, and you’re eager to serve them warm. But if you remove them from the pan too quickly, they’ll fall apart, cautions Contreras.
How to Fix it ?
Leave them on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

No 03 :
Overmixing the Batter.
Overmix your batter, and you’ll end up with one tough cookie (batch).
Batter that’s been mixed for too long can lead to dry, cracker-like cookies. And that’s not what you’re going for, right?

When you’re using an electric or hand mixer, stop mixing your dough when you can still see streaks of flour in the mix. Then, finish mixing by hand, which isn’t so rigorous

Measuring Your Flour Incorrectly.
