Pro tip: The 3 dozen cookies that finally made me stop eyeballing measurements
So I've been baking chocolate chip cookies for years and always just guessed at the flour and butter. Last Saturday I was making a batch for a friend's birthday in my tiny kitchen in Austin and decided to actually weigh everything with a $12 scale I got off Amazon. I ended up with exactly 3 dozen cookies that all looked the same and didn't spread into one giant blob like usual. It hit me that my "pretty good" cookies were actually kinda random, sometimes flat, sometimes cakey, and I never knew why. Weighing took maybe 2 extra minutes and now I can actually repeat a good batch instead of hoping for the best. My wife said these were the best ones I've made and asked what I did different. I told her it was just numbers and she laughed. Anyone else have a moment where a cheap tool totally changed how you bake?
