Lmao
Overspread is fine with me. Especially that one, it looked perfect 😛
Baking soda and baking powder? How about rise?
be sure to follow any cookie recipe the way it's written whether it calls for baking soda or baking powder!
Nah gurl… I researched, baking soda is the leavening agent that causes to spread the cookie. Baking powder does the rising
@@ChloeMercaz That's what I was taught as well: "Soda Spreads, Power Puffs" -- yet, in this video she uses baking soda to reduce spreading, which goes against what I heard. Yet her outcome seems to be successful for her. Very weird.
Recipe?
Do you put the cookie balls straight from the fridge into the oven? Or do you have to wait for it to cool down to room temperature before putting it into the oven?
if they've been in the fridge for a while and are really hard, I often let them sit at room temp for about 30 minutes before baking so that they'll spread easier :)
I was comment 300 🤓
Fresh banking soda, do u mean i should conserve it in the fridge!
just make sure it's not older than 6 months or so!
My cookies almost ALWAYS come out underspread, what if I just don’t chill them 😅
haha it definitely depends on the recipe you use!! and it's super important to make sure you're measuring your flour correctly so that you're not adding too much (here's how i measure mine: ambitiouskitchen.com/how-to-measure-flour)
@@ambitiouskitchen alright I tried it and wow. I did not know that measuring flour like that would make such a huge difference. Thank you!!
I love underspread.. chomky
Measure "properly" ... meanwhile every North American home cook's recipe swears by VoLuMetRic MEasUrEmeNt.
WTAF is a cup of flour supposed to even be exactly? Changes massively depending on how much you've packed it together.
Hahaha I know, a scale is absolutely the best way to measure! A lot of people don't have one though so the scoop & level method is the next best thing.
@@ambitiouskitchen using a scale and measuring by weight = the one thing I really hope fitness meal preppers can actually make stick for the greater good of the wider world of home cooks (or at least for the less confident amongst us that lack a grandma's intuition at least 😅)
i like overspread cookies better
Honestly I’d eat them no matter what.
I meannn SAME!
wtf i prefer underspread-
Mario
Is it weird that I want my cookies to over spread? The third one looked the best to me 😅
haha to each their own!

Same here 😅

Same!!
Overspread = perfect.
flax eggs!
I like my cookies overspread.
FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS, I LIVE OVERSPREAD COOKIES
@@skippyjej samee😊
Same
I like mine underspread.
@@SeymourLolis ngl umderspread chocolate batter cookies are basically brownies
I prefer them 'overspread' and chewy 😊 Looks good!
Can you please tell me the recipe and how can you bake it when you don't have a oven
@@benishfaisal237/videos For a recipe, just look up any random one on the internet. As for the no oven situation, you can make your cookies in a pan. They won't be exactly the same and you will have to flip them halfway, but this method might be the best for your situation
I naturally prefer the overspread cookies 😂
Over spread is where it's at😋🤤
“Spreading too much” is literally the perfect cookie
I’d also recommend skipping the measuring cups for flour and even sugar. Get use to weighing out for exact grams and you keep your flour fluff so it doesn’t clump
yes that's a great tip! and if you don't have a scale, I actually have a great blog post on how to measure flour so that you're not adding in too much: ambitiouskitchen.com/how-to-measure-flour
I like my cookies underspread.
Makes them softer inside😍
Yes
Me too. First cookie
me too
I love the overspread kind tbh when i saw that one i was like "ooo thats the one im getting"
hahah to each their own!!
Literally me too
I run a cookie shop for two years yet I still have hard time about the cookies spreading. I found it's not only about the ingredients which make the cookies over spread or even not spread, but the temperature plays too. I found when its in lower temperature, the cookies spreading to much, and if I give it higher temperature, theyre under spreading. but still its based on the cookie ingredients, I dont even once use brown sugar, I always use coconut sugar (or I call it in Indonesia, gula kelapa or gula semut). its from coconut sap, or simplify it, coconut juice? not a really juice,its come from the tree not the fruit. then its browned and crystalized into sugar. maybe the coconut sugar I use influence the cookie dough too.
also.. I dont use any electric oven, because its way too expensive. I always use gas oven even before I run the shop. its cheap although we can't control the temperature fine. thats a common challenge for me too
but thank you for the trial, it helps me!😄
absolutely, there are so many factors that go into it!! glad you found this helpful :)
Fun Fact or Pro Tip: If you love a chewy chocolate chip cookie, add 1 tb of cornstarch to your flour.
Works like a charm every time ❤
oh my god thank you. i tend to reduce sugar for all recipes but still want chewy cookies lol
love this tip!!
I'll try that next time!
Me: don't care if it's spread perfectly or over spread i just want to eat
Is there a recipe for these? 👀
Baking powder being fresh is so important it's crazy. I was wondering why my pancakes weren't fluffy no matter how hard I try, until I bought a new pack of baking powder.
Exactly!! And it's so easy to forget to replace it!
Mine has never affected the quality and I’m talking 8-10 years or older 😅
As a cookie enthusiast underspread is definitely the best as each bite has the most flavor!😊
i actually find that putting my dough into the oven cold spreads it more. if i'm making a bunch of cookies it's always the later ones that spread way less while the first batch in spreads a ton. because the cookie dough ends up a lot warmer over time.
my solution to that was to have several bowls and cycle through them for each batch. this way they had time to cool down again inbetween being used.
My Pastry teacher told Mr to put it in cold
I’ve been trying to make cookies from scratch for ever. My chocolate chips/ chunks from name brand chocolate never melts. Why is that google isnt explaining it 😩
Are you using chocolate chips or chocolate bars? Most chocolate chips are meant to hold their shape for the most part through the baking process. If you want nice melted chocolate throughout the cookie, I recommend buying chocolate baking bars in the baking aisle. I use a brand called “bakers”, make sure to get between 56%-70% cacao or the chocolate will be too bitter (in my opinion). Chop the correct amount of chocolate into your recipe and you should get melted chocolate. Hope this helps :)
That's exactly what I'd recommend! Chocolate chips have stabilizers in them to prevent them from melting (so that they hold their shape). A chopped chocolate bar will melt much more easily :)
a year later but nonetheless; it's a great tip to chop up chocolate bars, but you're fine using normal bars. baking bars usually go for more money while the normal 70%+ cacao bar work the same.
Overspread is the perfect cookie…
to each their own!! i love how the middle one stays perfectly fudgy in the middle :)
Me personally I like my cookies with overspread
Ahh now i know why my cookies never get flat. I was baking the dough balls straight out the freezer. Maybe i'll give baking one more try😂
Ohh yes sometimes they just don't melt down/spread out enough that way! Glad this is helpful :)
Overspread gang
👇
All cookies 🍪 😋
If the butter or oven is too hot they may over spread. Use a measuring scale not a scoop
Yes exactly, that's why I recommend chilling your dough! And totally, a scale is ideal but if you don't have one, the scoop & level method for measuring flour is the next best thing :)
My cookie pan becomes a cookie cake in the oven... Like OVERRRR spread... Why? I ffollow a simple recipe..?
I really needed these tips! I don’t like flat cookies! Mine have been too crispy
Thats. That the problem, my baking soda aint fresh 😭😂 so its over spreading
★{ I AM UNABLE TO BAKE COOKIES '🤦🏻♂️':'💀' 'CAUSE I DON'T HAVE AN OVEN AT HOME ANYMORE, ONLY THE MICROWAVE IS THERE NOW '💀'! NOR IS THERE ANY SPACE FOR A PROPER OVEN OR A TOASTER-OVEN AT THAT!

Does anyone know how to stop cookies from falling apart/ crumbling? Thanks 😊❤😘
idk why but i dont really measure things 😅i just use feelings and dont overthink them that much😭
Can anyone tell me why my cookies always turn out bad and when I don’t refrigerate them first? 😩 the texture is weird/sandy and I taste the baking soda so much
Yeah I do love this kind of 🍪cookie why does that matter when you can't have any without a glass of 🥛milk anyways
Okay but how do I get mine to overspread? Because that’s where it’s at 😂
"make sure you are measuring your flour properly"
-- proceeds to use cup 🤣🤦♂️
I dont know why it is annoying but all cookies are chocolate chip unless otherwise specified and therefore you can just call them cookies
I like mine underspread
I think the overly spread cookie is the best cookie
Overspread rhe best spread fr
But when i made mine they overspreaded and combine into one and then they werent even chewy they were stale
And i baked it right
uh oh! did you use my recipe? also different baking sheets can really affect how they bake up. what kind did you use?
I didn't use yours and i use normal parchment paper but everything i make always overspread do you know why??? I could try your recipe but they are all very similar.
Dude I was thinking that I would be weird for liking overspread but turns out these r my people
lol i don't understand you guys!!! hahaha
why americans would rather use cups instead of grams to measure things like flour will never make sense to me
Haha I know!! But most people just aren't in the practice of owning a scale + weighing so this method is for all of those people :)
Hmmm. I’m ok eating them all.
hahaha yes but if I can control how they come out, I'm choosing the middle one!!
I would eat every level of spread...
NOOO 😭 I just made number 2 mistake 😭😭
Aah ... I still don't get it, narator talking too fast.
What happened to your finger? D:
It’s getting eaten regardlessssss
Thank you SO MUCH!! I always had problems with my cookies not spreading enough, i’ll try these tips next time❤️
glad it's helpful!! ❤️
Overspread pls 🤤❤️
"underspread" looks a lot tastier
What should I do if I put to much flours
Overspread ftw
What kind of salt did you use at the end??
How do I get them overspread?
What happens if your cookies go past overspread?😭
hahaha they'll just be thinner and less fudgy in the middle!
Overspread looks and taste homemade and the way to go imo. “Perfect” and under spread looks store bought.
everyone has their own preferences!
You're doing the video style of that one guy. I'm not knocking you for it. All videos should be more like his. Benjamin the baker I think his name was.
oh i'll have to look him up!
measure ingredients using grams
We have the same fridge..
overspread is the way
overspread>>>
I like over spread cookies
What is the point of chillin the dough when you bake it at room temperature?
Hi! Chilling cookie dough allows the cookies to create a smooth caramel flavor, with crispy brown edges, a chewy interior and crackly tops. This happens because the fat in the recipe (butter) is solid and the sugar also absorbs some of it. Trust me, it’s a game-changer!
@ambitiouskitchen I've done it both ways and there is absolutely no difference.
I prefer overspread cookies
You need to add baking soda
My cookies are always getting burnt on the bottom please help 😭
you're likely leaving them in the oven too long or your sheet pan isn't heating evenly! I definitely recommend taking them out of the oven before they look done (they'll set up when they cool!) and using parchment paper or a silicone baking mat
If you measure flower like that then you are adding to much flour
Actually this is the way to measure so that you *don't* pack too much flour in the cup/add too much! I have a whole post about it: www.ambitiouskitchen.com/how-to-measure-flour/
I heard the perfect soft and chewy cookie is to set your oven no higher than 325 degrees. Cook no more than six or seven minutes. Let them stand or sit on the pan for at least five minutes transfer where you want them stored eat them when you want soft chewy indeed indeed.
interesting!!
overspread looked actually done good
Over spread is the best
I love a big back cookie
I like the ones that you labeled overspread. Those are my favorite
Pandrop!
No matter what recipe my cookies never spread😢
it probably has to do with the recipe, then!! I definitely recommend these ones: www.ambitiouskitchen.com/brown-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies/
The third one is perfectly spread to me. It's all a matter of preference i suppose

How long does they last ??
A few days on the counter, or you can freeze them! Here's the recipe: www.ambitiouskitchen.com/brown-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies/
Mine were over spread and had an oat taste, I found out it was bc I had old baking powder so I purchased new ones and I’ll try this right now :D thank you so much!
I like my chocolate chip cookies to under spread 🤷🏼♀️
Since when was ever under/overspreading of a cookie ever a problem? They're delish anyway !!
Yes to each their own, the middle one is not perfect that’s relative. Most people prefer what you label overspread. Not sure about these so called tips.
The overspread looks kinda better outta all of them😋cause i like big chocolate chip cookies also the best kind of cookies that ever existed
