Cream the butter and sugar well and then cream it some more. Use parchment paper or a silpat. Preheat your oven and then preheat it some more before you start baking. Even better if you have a pizza stone on the bottom rack. It will hold heat and help to even out temp fluctuations and help prevent burning on the underside of your cookies. The downside to a pizza stone is it adds a lot of time to get your oven up to temp. Rotate the baking sheet 2/3rds of the way through. Double whatever the recipe calls for for vanilla extract. A little instant espresso powder will help enhance the flavor of chocolate.

the perfect cookie is the opposite of 'al dente'.

What is the purpose and benefit of creaming butter and sugar? I've made perfectly fine cookies by melting the butter and then dissolving the sugar in it.

Yea I could search online but I want /ck/s opinions.

>> No.9934807

if they're for a reason (birthday, gift, etc) make some now so you get practice. they dont take long.

pull them out when they're browning on the outside but still soft in the middle and they'll be perfectly cooked from internal heat after cooling

i like the basics

100g flour
75g butter(hard kind)
50g sugar
half teaspoon salt.

usually i triple this and make standard cookies.
my brother say they are like crack because you can eat them endlessly without feeling like shit or getting very full.

How come some recipes call for brown sugar AND normal sugar? What the actual fuck is the difference, tastes the same to me.

Used to make hundreds of cookies a day as a prep cook, GODS, those were the days. Never managed to make marshmallows work, sadly. Best I could do is put one in the middle. Don't ever make marshmallow cookies, it's shit.

I find it impossible to believe you can't taste the molasses in brown sugar.

for leavening and texture

This is the only recipe I use.
The corn starch really is the secret ingredient (though I recommend substituting vanilla pudding mix if you have any)
Also as >>9934541 said chilling the dough is a must

Melt the butter, but don't liquefy it.

Forgive the atrocious link below, most people don't trust a bitly link these days. Anyway, this chart shows the differences in common cookie ingredients. A mixture of granulated and brown sugar will result in a different finished cookie compared to all brown or all granulated.

Make sure to warm the butter overnight and use a little extra flour

I always use less flour because my cookies get crispy when I follow the recipes

fuck, so too much flower is why my cookies come out like balls.

this, CHILL YOUR DOUGH!
If you don't do so then they will run out all over the place.

If the dough is chilled they will expand a little but bake into a good cookie shape.
But if you bake with the dough at room temp the butter will melt too fast and it will run out all over the place.

Sounds good. If you want to up your game then go:

>less salt
>bit of vanilla extract
>some cinnamon
>replace half the sugar with brown sugar.
