I used to make this recipe ten years ago in a different oven and the cookies were incredible. They were just like millies cookies.
Ive made 2 batches last week one turned out cakey and one turned out part raw. Today I’ve done 6 cookies baked one at a time with various timings and I can’t get it right! If they’re not cakey they’re raw.
Does 180C mean in a fan or non fan oven? And I’m using dark brown sugar does that change things?
oh, saw another problem here. use baking soda for regular choco chip cookies.
baking soda == baking powder without the rising element. the acidity of the cookie will bring less fluffiness/cakiness than the full rise from powder. for a reference on amount (sorry, i am american so i use cheeseburger measurements…), i use 2-1/3c flour to 1 teaspoon baking soda; not cut with baking powder
edit: i think i said that wrong. baking soda has the rising agent, but not the activator for the rising agent. baking powder has the activator.
I love it! I’ve also heard this referred to as “… in freedom units”
Ahhhhhhh that makes sense thanks so much! How much should I add if I’m using plain flour?
i think i am using the same; i use what is called “all-purpose flour” in usa
ah great thanks 😊
might as well just hand it over, lol. this is my ingredient list:
1 Cup (2 sticks) Butter
2-1/3 Cup Flour
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
2 Tablespoons Milk
1-1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla
1 Bag (~11-12oz) of Choco Chips (substitutable)
edit: note: 2 eggs are for 1 whole egg + 1 egg yolk
edit 2: my steps… might as well…
#Melt Butter
melt the butter and let it cool slightly
#Mix 1
Mix together flour, salt, baking soda
putting onto paper plate after mixing works well here…
#Mix 2

#Mix 3
Mix together 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, milk, vanilla
#Mix 3 & 2
Mix 3 into mix 2 on slow/stir
#Mix Plate
Slowly pour Mix 1 into main mix, make sure it fully mixes
#Add Chips
Pour in your chocolate (or whatever type) chips; mix on slow/stir until combined, then turn off.
#Chill
Chill in the fridge for 1 hr
#Prep & Bake
Split into 24 cookies. Use parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes at 375F.
2 sheets per bake swap sheets 1/2 way through
I made these today. I knocked the sugar down by 1/3 and I did misread it and put it in the freezer not the fridge. They are cakes not cookies cry cry cry 😢 I give up
You superstar! I’ve screenshotted it thanks so much. Is flour just plain flour? And do they go chewy not cakey because I feel cursed atm
yes, i use all-purpose flour (same as plain flour, just american); these have that cookie texture, not the cakey texture (a small rise, but not a ton)
You’ve been really kind helping me so much mate, i really appreciate it 🙏
