Mixing Too Much

Each ingredient needs to be carefully stirred in when it's added, but just as you shouldn't mix too little, you should also be careful not to mix too much. It may not seem like it changes much initially, especially if you use a mixer that does the job on its own with a press of a button. But mixing your dough too much can actually result in cookies that are hard and tough in texture. Instead, supervise your mixer and make sure you only stir the dough until the new materials are well-integrated.
