      What I meant: He helps us visualize how things should look and feel, by handling it, and doing close-ups at different stages of the process. *Personally*, since I'm a visual and practical learner, I find this helpful.

      Don't be absurd. People have been successfully baking without a scale for thousands of years. I saw one of you fools weighing a pinch of salt this week.

    I was the gal who was packing my flour in a measuring cup. I started using the leveling method and my cookies come out much better. Even still, I usually end up omitting about 1/6th - 1/8th of the dry ingredients to get a nice soft, greasy cookie 🍪 😅 🙃

    • @crystalm4324
      @crystalm4324 Рік тому +10

      For the softest chocolate chip cookies
      melt the butter first and 1TB hot water
      Use BROWN sugar not white
      Cream them good
      Add eggs and vanilla
      Then add your flour, bkg soda and powder.
      Add enough flour so you can roll balls if you like thicker cookies add less flour if you like thinner cookies.
      Add your chips - I like milk chocolate for this recipe. But you do you. Or mix and match. Just add lots.
      375 degrees for about 8 minutes - always watch and never overcook - if you start to smell the chocolate they are about to burn 🔥

      @Winter61742 Рік тому +4

      When you read recipes and they call for cups of powder (flour, powdered sugar, etc), you should spoon and level. If you scoop directly with the cup, it’s still not accurate
