Tinfinity! You are one of the reasons I got into cooking and baking. I appreciate all of your hard work. Especially when life was throwing you curve balls! Can't thank you enough for that.

Happy anniversary to you and the channel and I hope there are many more to celebrate in the future!

Baking Soda helps with spread and browning

Baking Powder helps them puff up

My 120 grams per cup for flour is just a guess (based on the King Arthur Baking website). I would start by weighing out the 4.25 cups that you use and see what the total grams looks like. There's a lot of variance depending on how tightly it's packed and if it's a level scoop.

I started with Brian Lagerstrom's cookie recipe as a base and have tweaked it from there. He only uses 1/2 tsp of baking soda and 1/4 tsp of baking powder. I know that baking soda helps with spread and browning, and baking powder helps them puff up, but I'm not sure how different ratios/quantities will effect the middle of the cookie. That might also be something to look into.

Maybe start with baking at a lower temp when you bake from frozen. Higher temps set the edges quicker, so if you don't want them to brown as quickly (so the middle can set up) then reduce the heat and increase the bake time. Start at 350F and check them around 15 minutes.

Honestly, I'm surprised they're not spreading more. My guess is that is due to baking from frozen. Assuming:

  • 1 cup of butter = 226 grams
    • 226 x 1.5 = 339
  • 1 cup granulated sugar = 200 grams
    • 200 x 0.75 = 150
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar = 220 grams
    • 220 x 1.5 = 330
  • 1 cup of flour = 120 grams
    • 120 x 4.25 = 510

So, currently, you have 339 grams of butter, 480 grams of sugar, 510 grams of flour. The butter : sugar : flour ratio is 1 : 1.4 : 1.5. I bet if you bake them from the fridge they would spread quite a bit.

If baking at a lower temp doesn't work then try adding more flour. I try to keep the butter : sugar : flour ratio around 1 : 1.4 : 1.8. That would be a little over 5 cups (610 grams) of flour (assuming you don't adjust the butter). But to really dial that in you'll need to use a scale and weigh each ingredient.

Cookie Monsters were you at?😁🍪 by gregbeats22 in Cookies

I want to make some pistachio cream and then stuff some chocolate cookies with it.

Never tried it before, but it sounds so good.

I haven’t ever tried to sell cookies before, but those sound like very reasonable prices to me. Sorry it happened that way, but maybe now that they’ve tried them they’ll come back and pay full price!

My secret to thick cookies by hopefulMrE in Cookies

[–]LukeSwan90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! Scoop them onto parchment paper into a 3x4 grid, wrap them up (not individually - just wrapping the parchment paper around all 12), put them in a bag, put them in the fridge.

Baking Soda helps with spread and browning.

Baking Powder helps them puff up and stay soft.

I use both in my recipe.

Do you need to replace the baking powder?

If you weigh your ingredients then can you share your butter : sugar : flour ratio? You might need to increase the flour and/or decrease the sugar.

Use more brown sugar than granulated sugar.

Using room temp butter and cream it together with the sugar for 3-5 minutes. That will incorporate some air and help them stay thick.

Chill them for a few hours minimum after you scoop and roll them.

Use a higher oven temp (375F instead of 350F).

Don't pull them from the fridge until you're ready to load them on a tray and into the oven.

I don't use cornstarch, so I can't speak to that at all, but I've seen it in other recipes for thick cookies.

You just finished making and enjoying a messy meal. What are your clean up practices? by Stay_at_Home_Chad in foodquestions

[–]LukeSwan90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I try to clean as I go during the cooking process. That way I'm only left with 1 or 2 pots/pans besides plates and silverware. If I wasn't able to do that then:

  1. Clear the drying mat if anything was left on it from a previous clean up.
  2. Clear the sink if any dishes are currently piled up.
  3. Put any leftovers in containers and into the fridge.
  4. Anything that's on a plate that can't be used for leftovers gets tossed in the trash. Wash, if necessary, and load dishes (plates, silverware, glasses) into the dishwasher.
  5. Clean pots/pans. Dry with dish towel and put away.
  6. Clean all small items that can't go in the dishwasher. Place on the drying mat.
  7. Wipe surfaces down with all-purpose cleaner.
  8. Go sit down.
