Tried measuring flour with a cup then a scale, and my cookies came out way better with the scale
I baked chocolate chip cookies twice this weekend, same recipe and same oven at 375. The first batch used my old measuring cups and the cookies spread out flat and thin. The second batch I weighed the flour at 120 grams per cup on my $15 kitchen scale, and they puffed up thick and soft instead. I had no idea I was packing in way too much flour every time I scooped. Does anyone else weigh their flour, or do you just scoop and hope for the best?
