you're using TOO MUCH flour in your cookies! (possibly) 

Ngl the cookie w the least amount of flour looks so good

I actually kinda like the too much flour cookies, they’re kinda chewy but have a lot of cookie in them for the small circle it is, they also just have good mouth feel, I really don’t like crispy things so yeah

The one with too little flour actually looks good af

Honestly the one with "too much" flour looks DELICIOUS!!

The one with too much flour was so beautiful though! The one that was “just right” didn’t seem very appealing to me. But its all subjective of course! Im very picky about cookies. Something ive started doing lately is replacing some of the sugar with light corn syrup. You do have to adjust the flour a bit, but if you like soft cookies then omg its a GAME CHANGER!!! i definitely used to feel like its so bad to put corn syrup in baked goods.. but like.. its already a cookie. And white sugar is already refined so i think we are joking ourselves if it seems less bad. Anyways yea, the corn syrup keeps the cookies so perfectly soft and they stay that way for a while. I used to always keep my cookies in the freezer so they wont dry out because they would dry out within a day of being in a sealed container… but after the corn syrup, now they can last multiple days without drying. Anyways i never see people using corn syrup in cookie recipes so i thought i would share because its such a game changer.

Measuring by volume is not done where I live (Asia). Always by weight for dry stuff, and by milliliters for liquid.

Almost like using weight is more accurate than 'fill a cup with it'

All of these cookies look good. Depending on my mood and what kind of cookie I want, I use a little too much or too little flour and I use different temperature butter. 🧐

Correct is relative, depending on how you like your cookies. Give me a puffy over-floured cookie over a thin one any day.

That's why you all should use mass measurements.

It’s so helpful in baking when recipes describe what the batter should be like.

This is a great video! I usually test it by touching the dough with my finger - if a lot of dough sticks to it I need more flour, if no dough at all sticks to it I need more liquid, if I have a few dots/crumbles of dough sticking to my finger I’m good!!

This is a good informative video! All 3 look great and I’m sure taste great too! So it boils down to texture preference with the “normal” being the standard base formula. 🤤🍪

How about this…. Don’t use cups! Use scales every time

tbh the cookie with the least flour looks the yummiest

The one with too much looks the best

I baked cookies yesterday and wondered what I did wrong, now I know that I just used too much flour! Thank you so much for the tip!!! Hopefully my next cookies well go well

oh my God this is so helpful… i had no idea why my cookies never looked like the recipe

Honestly Over looks so good 🍪

All of them look good

Dang this was so helpful! Good to know!

Such a good tip!

Under looking mighty fine

Different flours have different densities and weigh less / more per cup

I dont see anything WRONG with any of those cookies, its good to have VARIETY🍪

I think we found cookie crumbl's recipe; Too much flour

What’s your usual cookie recipe? I’d love to try it

I like the packed and level method. I bake my cookies on the longer side to get them crunchy.

or, use a scale instead, lol, they don't cost a lot of money and I find there's less to wash up after

Thanks! I make pie a lot so this will help when making the dough

Is the scooping measure a tablespoon? It is really useful to have a visual of the dough and the amount of flour added. Thank you for the useful video.

Thank you and thank god for your video - I've made puffy choco chip cookies twice this week and I've been wondering why they weren't spread out at all.

Tbh if I had to choose only one cookie out of those three I’d do the one with the least it just looks so good

I love the too much flour cookies since I personally don’t like crispy stuff….I just like that mouth feel…and they’re delicious ❤

I like lots of spread and crunchy edges

The too little one looks scrumptious

40 year baker here and exact measuring is a fantasy! I've made thousands of batches of cookies and never the same measurements twice!

we’ll mistakes happen that’s why we don’t give up and keep trying until we eventually get it.

thank you sm

Honestly I like mine similar to the over flour one but my recipe is slightly different to others as there are people in my family who can’t digest gluten and I have had to adapt it but I’ve made one that is crunchy, chewy, cakey and soft all at once I love it

When I was making cookies when I was younger, I kept getting bigger cookies and it was annoying and my grandmother made nice flat ones, I never knew why. Now I know.

Ive always fluffed n scooped it made the most sense

Great experiment!

Omg this is why my cookie dough was so dry earlier😭 I needed this 5 hrs ago

I don’t care, if it’s a cookie it’s in my stomach

I wonder if you can do a video comparing types of shortening used in cookies: butter, oil, and vegan butter.

oh my gosh my cookies have been bad for years and i finally know why😊 thank you so much 😁😁

I'm gonna tell you right now: All three of those cookies are just right for certain people.

Omfg so its not my baking soda making my cookies so puffy!!!!!!! You just saved my life

I’ve learned different flour brands may weigh more or less per cup

I always do to little flour 😂, the cookie with not enough flour do be busting tho

Or... just use grams instead of cups

I like over perfect to dip in milk

Ngl, mine, wasnt like any of those 😅

Thank you!

a cookie is a cookie

ngl we should stop using "cups/tbsp/pinch" for measurements worldwide 😤

The correct method to measure flour is to scoop it out with a measuring cup the level it off the an offset spatula.shaking it can actually leave u with to little flour.

The only problem is, most recipes require a lot of sugar and when you lessen the amount, the ratio of flour to sugar is different which can lead to that denser cookie so I don't know what to do

1 cup of AP flour is 120g

One time me and my friend were making cookies. We were like 10 or something and we put waaaaaay less flour on accident and it was basically melted chocolate 🤣 it was still pretty good tbh

somewhere between just right and over is my goal.

Honestly i would eat all 3 I don't discriminate... All look good.

The important thing is that it's still edible at the end of the day because you ate all three cookies 🍪😮

correction: now u see how important it is to not put enough flour in a cookie. mmmmm looks so goooood :3

All three where still delicious though

I have most definitely been using to much flower

Not using enough looks the best

CRUNCHY

Idk, I make cookies that look like the perfect mesured one and pack it. Might just be my recipe that prepared for that but mine isn’t all round like that 🤷‍♀️ but still great tips. I like the softer cookies anyways

The too much flour looks the best

I prefer the least amount. Looks delish🤣😂

Honestly I would still eat all of them!

Thank you ❤

Measurements scare me😂💀

The 'under' recipe looks delicious

Wow I never knew not to pack the measuring cup

you know what i say?? a cookie is a cookie. imma eat it no matter what

Oh... So that's why my cookies barely spread 😃

Thank u 🤍

I wanna try the under flower cookie

When I make cookies, I add extra chocolate chips so it's soft and chocolatey

I’ll go with a little less flour, that’s the way I like them but I never knew the science… thank you. Flat, chewy cookies her I come.

But what if the person who made the recipe packed in the flour?

Who would eat them anyway gang 👇

I hate a crispy cookie. Even the edges. I was a soft cookie all the way through. And I want it soft the next day as well. So over flour for me. I also undercook my cookies to make them even softer.

Imma make sure I don’t add enough then

I think this is really helpful for everyone cause cookie politics is EXTREMELY controversial as I learned at Christmas 😅😅😅

So I think I need to start using less flour, cuz I love me a crunchy cookie.

the best cookie here? the raw. gimme that dough.

Over looks good to me 😂

too much flour cookies are delish

How about the other ingredients...? What's wrong with them?

I desperately want the under flour cookies...

I always just scoop and shake. I stopped using a butter knife to scrape the excess off the top because my container opening is only large enough for the measuring cup and it makes a huge mess. I would love to get a scale, but batteries I don't want to have to buy and finding a good non battery powered scale is a pain.

The under looked the best

and yet the US still won't use measured ingredients or the metric system?

I was alwaus told my butter was too soft but ig I used not enough flower

Also way simpler, just measure 130g right away, why bothering with first putting it in cups and then weighing it anyway???

I think the one with less flour is better
