    I actually kinda like the too much flour cookies, they’re kinda chewy but have a lot of cookie in them for the small circle it is, they also just have good mouth feel, I really don’t like crispy things so yeah

    Measuring by volume is not done where I live (Asia). Always by weight for dry stuff, and by milliliters for liquid.

    The one with too much flour was so beautiful though! The one that was “just right” didn’t seem very appealing to me. But its all subjective of course! Im very picky about cookies.
    Something ive started doing lately is replacing some of the sugar with light corn syrup. You do have to adjust the flour a bit, but if you like soft cookies then omg its a GAME CHANGER!!! i definitely used to feel like its so bad to put corn syrup in baked goods.. but like.. its already a cookie. And white sugar is already refined so i think we are joking ourselves if it seems less bad. Anyways yea, the corn syrup keeps the cookies so perfectly soft and they stay that way for a while. I used to always keep my cookies in the freezer so they wont dry out because they would dry out within a day of being in a sealed container… but after the corn syrup, now they can last multiple days without drying. Anyways i never see people using corn syrup in cookie recipes so i thought i would share because its such a game changer.

    All of these cookies look good. Depending on my mood and what kind of cookie I want, I use a little too much or too little flour and I use different temperature butter. 🧐

  • @stubbs3023

    This is a great video! I usually test it by touching the dough with my finger - if a lot of dough sticks to it I need more flour, if no dough at all sticks to it I need more liquid, if I have a few dots/crumbles of dough sticking to my finger I’m good!!

  • @chernandez2132

    I always just scoop and shake. I stopped using a butter knife to scrape the excess off the top because my container opening is only large enough for the measuring cup and it makes a huge mess.
