I did!

I tried again @ 300 for 25 mins (instead of 375 for 10). Made no difference

Apparently it can be a problem of too much sugar and butter so I might try cutting it with some more flour

I heard using shortening instead of butter reduces spread I think

>> No.10690547

>>10690205

do you use melted butter instead of soft? do you properly cream the butter/sugar?

>> No.10690585

I just follow the recipe on the bag of chocolate chips. Let 2 sticks of butter soften in the fridge, took between 12-24 hours, then I pounded them out with a rolling pin before mixing with the other wet ingredients. Once I had the wet and dry all put together I put the mixing bowl in the fridge for just under and hour. When I got to putting them in the oven I used a tablespoon to make rounded scoops and rolled them into balls with my hands, baked by the dozen for 13 minutes at a time. Try doing that.
