@thecookieshop.lr: A lot of people scoop flour with a cup and don’t realize you can accidentally be using 20–30% less flour than the recipe actually needs. When you don’t have enough flour: ➡️ the dough is softer ➡️ the structure is weaker ➡️ and your cookies spread flat in the oven. That’s why I always teach to weigh your dry ingredients, especially flour. For my thick, chunky Cookie Shop LR style cookies, the exact amount of flour is what: ✔️ holds the shape ✔️ supports all the mix-ins ✔️ and keeps the cookie tall instead of wide.
