It's something my mom and I do together to relax, to escape the pressures of shopping and entertaining. But every now and then, our chatty nature gets the best of us and when we pull out a batch of cookies from the oven, we can't help but gasp. What's wrong with these cookies? It happens to all of us. With bakers of all experience levels in mind, my mom and I decided to experiment.
We intentionally mucked up the cookie dough in a few different ways to see what would happen and if we could fix the problem. First, we didn't add enough flour; then, we added too much flour; with the rest of the dough, we added a couple extra eggs. But before I go too far down that road, let me share the recipe. As the recipe requires, we mixed the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately, then combined them and added about one cup of semisweet chocolate chips. We baked on the second rack from the top at degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes for all of the cookies.
Before we even put the cookies on the sheet, we could tell what was wrong. It's all in the mixer. That's right, just by looking at the way your dough sticks to the mixer you can tell whether you have too much flour, not enough flour, or too many eggs. In this case you can counter the imbalance straight away, adding more wet ingredients or more flour until you get the consistency you want.
Even transferring the dough to the cookie sheet made the errors visible; dough with not enough flour was sticky and hard to transfer; dough that had too many eggs was runny and spread out on the pan; dough with too much flour was like glue — we were able to roll into a ball and it stayed in exactly the same shape throughout its time in the oven.
As much as it pained us to move forward, we went ahead and baked the "problem cookies" to show what they look like when they come out of the oven.
If your cookies are flat, brown and crispy, that means you need to add flour to your dough for the next batch. Our cookies were brittle and greasy and cooked much faster than the other dough balls on the sheet. Though the culprit is usually a flour deficit, butter could also be to blame for this problem. Adding too soft or slightly melted butter to the dough can also result in flat cookies. Many bakers — my mom and myself included — heat the butter to soften it.
Warming the butter too long can cause it to start melting, so if you notice a little puddle around your sticks of butter, it's best to wait for it to cool off a bit. Scooping dough onto a warm pan can also cause the cookies to spread more; so for the second batch and beyond, my mom and I usually stick the dough in the fridge until it's time to load up the next cookie sheet.
The easy fix here is to add more flour to the dough, little by little, until it sticks well to the mixer. If your cookies come out looking more like biscuits, you've likely added too much flour. Getty Images. My cookies always come out hard and tough. My cookies never seem to bake evenly. For even baking, be sure to shape cookies to roughly the same thickness. My cookies are always too brown on the bottom.
My cookies always seem to melt on the cookie sheet. I always burn my cookies. My drop cookies always seem too soft. My cookies always seem to spread too much when I bake them. My cookies never seem done in the time the recipe suggests. I always end up with a bunch of dough scraps when I bake. When I transfer my cookie cutouts from the cutting board to the cookie sheet, they always become misshapen.
My cookies become soggy and lose their shape when I try to cool them. My cookies become hard right away, so my family doesn't like them as much the next day. I always over- or undercook my bar cookies. My bar cookies always crumble. If the problem persists, use less butter. This cookie is slightly chewy, full of butter and chocolate flavour and beautifully golden brown. It baked perfectly. Remember, practice makes perfect.
