i buy butter in bulk and always use butter. i am aware of the differences in using different fats in cooking, but not really familiar with them. shat constitutes 'shortning?' does it have to do with saturated fat content? can't lard be used as a shortning as well as more commonly used products like crisco?

Ingredients

4½ ounces | 128 grams all-purpose flour, such as Gold Medal
6 ounces | 170 grams salted honey-roasted peanuts
10 ounces | 283 grams creamy peanut butter
4 ounces | 113 grams unsalted butter, soft but cool—about 65°F
10 ounces | 283 sugar
¾ teaspoon | 3.75 ml Diamond Crystal kosher salt (half as much if iodized)
¾ teaspoon | 3.75 ml baking soda
½ teaspoon | 2.5 ml baking powder
2 teaspoons | 10 ml vanilla extract
1 large egg, straight from the fridge, well beaten, typically 50 grams of egg (total of the white and yolk)
1½ ounces | 43 grams milk (any percentage will do)

Directions

Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat to 350°F (180C). Sift flour into the bowl of a food processor (if using a cup measure, spoon into the cup and level with a knife before sifting). Add peanuts and pulse until fine, about 1 minute. (In an airtight container, this mixture will keep at room temperature for up to a month.)
Combine peanut butter, butter, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on low speed to moisten, then increase to medium and beat until soft and light, about 3 minutes. With the mixer running, add the egg in two additions, mixing until each one is well incorporated. Reduce speed to low and add the peanut flour, followed by the milk, mixing to form a very soft dough.
Divide into thirty-four 1⅛-ounce (32-gram) portions. Arrange on a parchment-lined aluminum baking sheet, leaving 2 inches (5cm) between them. Bake until the edges are firm and just barely beginning to brown but the cookies are still puffed and steamy in the middle, about 16 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet until the crumb is set, about 10 minutes.
Enjoy warm, or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week at room temperature.

Scales are more about consistency, because you will always be pretty close to your target and thus your baking will be better.

nothing to do with "scientifically accurate", it has far more to do with consistency. measure solids with weight and liquids with volumes. it's not hard and greatly helps with consistency. this is obvious.

I think people should be more understanding of the Americans in this thread. It's not like anyone wants to have to sift and level their dry ingredients, and have to wash a bunch of measuring cups, just to achieve less precise results. But when all you have is an arrangement of plastic cups passed down through the generations, and buying a scale would mean you can't afford the ingredients for the food; what else can you do? You muddle through. It's not THAT important.

A little humility would go a long way desu. Don't brag just because you live in a first world country and can afford a scale.

you're missing the point. it's about being consistent. if you use a cup measure, the difference can be between 50% extra if you do the scoop directly via the cup measure into your flour, or you spoon into the cup measure method. so tell me, anon, does your recipe change when you can have up to 135g of extra flour if measured poorly? that adds up, quick. your theoretic 30 cookie distribution now has 4.5g extra flour per cookie, and that will substantively change the outcome assuming all other measure are correct. in addition, cookies are a bad baking item to do this comparison on. cookies in general are very forgiving. at worst they come out kinda shitty but they're sugar bombs, so it's whatever. do it with anything harder (cake, bread, etc.) and the margin for fuck up is a lot smaller.

What on earth are you basing this on?
I can’t imagine anyone who isn’t invoking literal retard-strength would pack 50% more flour into a cup.
In fact it’s basic common sense to *not* pack flour (or brown sugar) into the measure unless the ingredient quantities in the recipe specifically call for that.
I understand that going by mass is more idiot-proof, but I also think it’s silly to imply that nobody was baking “correctly” before kitchen scales became commonplace.

you need to get out then, anon. i have friends that buy flour from the store, open up the bag, stuff their grubby cup measures directly into a heavily compacted bag of flour, and then dump it into whatever recipe they're trying to make. only to come out with chalky cakes and cookies every time, or some supremely sweet pile of garbage that i have to say is good while i throw it in the trash.

also, seriously, if you had a scale you can literally test this out yourself. most people know to spoon in flour (apparently you don't, i hope your shitty private school education covers that in home ec nowadays)
etc. i was full on into using dry measuring cups when i started out baking. then i got a fucking scale and my consistency is significantly higher than before, so i threw anything larger than a tablespoon into the trash. if the recipe is for baking and doesn't have weights, it's not worth shit anyway.

also, nobody is implying
>I also think it’s silly to imply that nobody was baking “correctly” before kitchen scales became commonplace.
my, and everyone else's points, are about consistency. your grandma and the nth-generation before her learned how to properly measure things through trial and error. you are making fallacious arguments to suggest otherwise. nobody comes out of the womb with the ability to measure dry ingredients correctly. do you know how to avoid the trial and error? just use a fucking scale. you'll learn what a tbsp/tsp/cup is anyway just by doing it enough times, but now you have the benefit that you can get consistent results after a few tries instead of after a few dozen tries.

I’d argue that your friends need to get out more.
It sounds more like a disconnect between people who were taught basic kitchen sense by their parents, and people who weren’t.
>you are making fallacious arguments to suggest otherwise. nobody comes out of the womb with the ability to measure dry ingredients correctly
Correct. See my above comment about learning basic kitchen fundamentals from parents.

I’m not sure why you’re trying to argue with me or call my comments fallacious when I literally stated that measuring by mass is more idiot-proof.
I don’t mean that as a snarky insult; I mean it in the sense that someone who never learned basic fundamentals will be better off using that method.
However that doesn’t negate the countless people who manage perfectly fine with volumetric measurements.
>if the recipe is for baking and doesn't have weights, it's not worth shit anyway.
Isn’t that a bit disingenuous? You’re honestly saying that any baking recipe that predates affordable gram-accurate kitchen scales is shit?
>if you had a scale you can literally test this out yourself
I literally have and use a kitchen scale. I’m not emotionally invested in one method or the other. I get perfectly fine results whether a recipe gives ingredients in volume or mass.

you keep arguing past my point, I'm not sure how to make it more clear. we're talking about consistency. you will not get the same consistency from using cup measures than what you would with a kitchen scale. i don't see how there's anything to discuss here. someone with decades of experience will never be as accurate as a kitchen scale. move on.

> Isn’t that a bit disingenuous? You’re honestly saying that any baking recipe that predates affordable gram-accurate kitchen scales is shit?
you're not able to read my argument closely, but we're still talking about _weights_ here, right? i don't care if they use grams or ounces - i can convert between them pretty easily. i am talking about using volume measurements vs. weight measurements for dry goods. pic rel is what they used to measure weights before gram-accurate scales were commonplace, c. 1900.

> I literally have and use a kitchen scale. I’m not emotionally invested in one method or the other. I get perfectly fine results whether a recipe gives ingredients in volume or mass.
great! try the various methods that exist for scooping flour into a cup measure. you will see a noticeable difference in the results.
