It looks like she put a shitload of sugar and fat in a bowl and forget to add any flour

>>7030221
So if we just dump like half a measurement of flour in and try it again, is it plausible they will resemble cookies?

>>7030228
Literally who knows? It can't be any worse if you try, though. At best you save it, at worst you waste the dough you were wasting anyway.

>>7030228
Can't you just find the ingredients for a single cookie and just scale up?

>>7030217
>So my girlfriend attempted
Quit reading right there.

muh trypophobia

I enjoyed the reference

>>7030217
Pan too small, too much liquid in the batter.

>>7030249
I mean, just fucking google it. There are like a literal million recipes for chocolate chip cookies. This shit isn't rocket science.

>>7030217
because it's supposed to make a dough and not a fucking batter

>>7030235
Worth a shot.

>>7030249
>>7030281
She used a recipe, I think she just missed a step.

>>7030277
What does the pan size do? I'm curious.

>>7030285
>implying I know enough about cooking to know they aren't synonyms

>she mixed it by hand instead of using some kind of beater

literally completely irrelevant

>>7030508
This, you're not supposed to use beaters to make a dough. Are you sure you're not the retard who made fucked up cookies?

>So my girlfriend attempted

No, you attempted. You just don't want to be called out for being such a braindead fool that you can't cook fucking cookies.

>>7030217

Too much sugar.

She's a woman, you expect her to do anything the way someone tells her she's supposed to?

Here's how it went:

>exact increments of butter?
>nahhhhhh just eye it, looks about right teehee I'm cooking look at me
>2 handfuls of flour is the same as 2 cups right?
>2 cups of brown sugar? Well, we don't have that but maple syrup is brown so I'll add that to the sugar to make it brown...same thing right!? Right!
>add a few of these bad boys: :^)
>now we're cooking
>why are my cookies flat
>ANON DID U OPEN THR OVEN MY MOTHER SAID NEVER TO DO THAT WHILE.SOMETHING IS BAKING OR IT WILL FALLLLLL
>THIS...IS...YOUR...FAULT
>*stomp stomp stomp* **SLAM**
>*knock knock knock, honey are you ok???*
>IT'S YOUR FAULT I'M TELLING MY MOM ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW!!! *SNIFF* *SNIFF*

I have no idea what is and isn't relevant, which is why I posted it.

>>7030557
>>7030547
If it were me I would have known what I did wrong. But make no mistake, I can't cook at all either.

>>7030217
Poorly mixed is the main problem
You can use baking soda in place of powder, they're both sodium bicarbonate but powder has cream of tartar added. That's their only difference however it's a different amount for soda. Like if you use soda you only need 1/3rd of what it calls for for powder, I forget exactly but it's something like that.
Just mix it better next time, all ingredients should be room temp, and added properly at the proper time. Not all at once

>>7030578

The fuck is wrong with her. There is no possible way to fuck up cookies THAT badly.

>>7030578
ah you're just a faggot

>>7031025

Apparently not.

4chan is a 18+ website

>>7031005
Don't listen to this guy. You can't replace powder with soda. Powder has another ingredient that neutralizes soda so it ends up neutral on the ph scale. Soda will make your cookies spread, while powder will make them puff up like cakes.

>>7030547
So much misinformation in this thread. Mixing by hand definitely changes the cookie since most people won't cream butter and sugar by hand. However, it won't do what you have shown.

The baking soda is definitely the problem. The structure on the holes of your..."cookies" are what happens when you put too much soda in. I wouldn't recommend attempting to fix your dough, but if you do, I would recommend making something like the tollhouse cookie recipe and leaving out the baking soda, and even maybe a little bit of butter, then mixing the two doughs together.

Omg dude just dump her

I've fucked up cookies before but this is on a whole new level

>>7030299
you need enough space for the cookies to expand as needed. also having cold dough makes them not expand too much

>>7031030

You're cute.

:^)

Baking and some of cooking is just chemistry you can eat.

No wonder most of us women are terrible at it.

>>7030578
Somewhere in the deepest recesses of my brain I know this is probably what happened.

>>7030608
Thank you, based cooking Dad.

I've had a similar story. Except it was an (ex) boyfriend. Dude had a massive inferiority complex, so when I suggested he needed more flour, he got defensive and blamed me that my oven temp was wrong.

Just add more flour OP, maybe an egg too. And dump the wench. Don't date people who cant follow simple instructions. You'll thank me later.

>And dump the wench. Don't date people who cant follow simple instructions. You'll thank me later.
this. i could never make it work with any of my incompetent exes. if they do everything half assed, then you got a half assed girlfriend

>>7030221
These kind of comparison pictures that don't include ingredient ratios are so dumb, baking is applied chemistry.

Fuck these useless food bloggers and the dumbfucks they cater to

>>7031783
the "standard" chocolate chip cookie recipe is the one that is printed on the back of tollhouse chocolate chip bags
this picture probably goes off of that
calm down bud

>>7031788
Checked out that website and at least she's using weights for flour and tells people to buy scales, on the other hand her focaccia dough has sugar in it and everything else is measured in barbaric burger tsps

What is the point of saying this? It was all probably thrown together in the bowl to begin with, the butter was probably melted. You come off like some faggot who sells desserts out of a food truck.

women are so fucking stupid jesus christ

Tell her to just follow the nesltè toll house recipe, it's womanproof.
https://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/18476/original-nestle-toll-house-chocolate-chip-cookies/

The baking powder is ok when you don't use brown sugar (white sugar is not so acid so it dowsn't react that good with soda). Also I think the oven was lower than 375 and the dough spread too much while cooking.

That shit is fucking horrifying OP. I mean that in the literal sense. It's triggering my Trypophobia pretty hard. Got any more abominations?

>>7030578
implying I would care if that woman could cook or not instead of just fucking the shit out of her and making my own food or letting her burn our meals and just deal with it with a smile

Make sure the butter is softened, not melted.

Use a little more flour, make the cookies smaller and more evenly spaced.
