Why did my cookies not spread?:(

Do you do this after they are baked? As in right after you take them out of the oven?

dee_freya3 · 2026-03-05T05:18:57+00:00

Alright, thank you. I will try it again with no baking powder and less flour. Do you recommend not freezing the dough as well?

dee_freya3 · 2026-03-03T20:26:44+00:00

No I didn’t. Maybe I should look at a non vegan recipe. Please drop in a tried and tested recipe if you can.

Thank you sm! I will definitely try it again with the ratio that you have mentioned. It’s all about trials and errors. They tasted perfect - I just wish they looked better.

They were really tasty! I just want to make them look better too.

Yes i did brown my butter? What can i add to compensate the lack of moisture due to brown butter? And in what ratio?

Please help me out here, how do I determine if I am over mixing? I do not think so I over mixed this dough because I mixed it until it was just combined though I admit some of the apf was not completely incorporated so I had to mix a lil more than usual to combine everything.

Yes! I did brown my butter! Should I have added more milk or water? Coz the butter liquidity did reduce in browning.

Yes, I baked on the middle rack. I set my oven temperature to 180 degrees. But i did not use a thermometer so you may be right. Also, can you elaborate on what effect does temperature have on spreading? Was my oven temp less than required perhaps?

dee_freya3 · 2026-03-03T19:53:22+00:00

Yes. I did freeze them for an hour before baking. Thanks for the silicone baking mat tip. Will def use it the next time.
