It appears that every time we want to get soft and melty cookies, we end up with crispy and thin ones. There are also times when we aim for crunchy chocolate chip cookies and get the thick version of this iconic treat.

Well, that shouldn’t be an issue anymore, thanks to Benjamin the baker. This TikTok user, who has eight years of experience working in bakeries, recently shared a simple yet effective hack that will help you get the perfect chocolate chip cookies every time.

According to Benjamin the baker, the secret is in adjusting the temperature of your oven. While most recipes ask for 350F, this temperature will only get you one kind of cookie. If you want to have extra-crisp cookies, bake them at 300F. If you want to have soft and gooey chocolate chip cookies, bake them at 425F.

“Low temp for thinner and crispier, high temp for thicker and gooier,” says Benjamin the baker in the video, while demonstrating the results.

The clip quickly became a huge hit on social media and already racked up five million views in just a couple of days. Check it out!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt
• 3/4 teaspoon of baking soda
• 3/4 cup of unsalted butter
• 1 cup of packed dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup of white sugar
• 1 egg plus 2 egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
• 6 oz of chopped bittersweet chocolate

Instructions:

1. Take half a cup of butter and melt it over low heat, stirring often, until it turns a light brown color. Transfer that into a bowl, cut up the rest of the butter, and add that in as well.
2. While the butter is melting, whisk together in a medium-sized bowl the flour, salt, and baking soda.
3. Once the butter is melted, add in the brown and white sugar and whisk.
4. Crack in the eggs and egg yolks and whisk for another 30 seconds, add in the vanilla, and whisk again.
5. Pour in the dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until it’s well combined, then add in the chocolate.
6. If the dough still looks too runny, leave it at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
7. Then, take an ice cream scooper and scoop them out onto parchment-lined baking sheets. The dough should be able to hold its shapes even though it’s softer than normal dough.
8. Bake at 375 F for 8-10 minutes, rotating the trays halfway through.
9. Cool on baking sheets and enjoy!
