I made these and wasn't very impressed. The first batch i only chilled for 20 mins to i can see why it may not have worked out, but my other trays were plenty chilled and it still failed. The cookie were very flat and went from uncooked to too brown with no prefect medium.
ReplyI chilled these for the recommended time but it causes them to not spread out while baking, leaving me with chocolate chip balls rather than cookies
ReplyI tried these, very easy. I chilled the mixture in the bowl for 40 minutes before forming into balls. They spread out fine and were extremely tasty and I got lots of compliments.
ReplyThe amount of flour doesn’t make sense. 1 1/2 of what? Cups? 190 grams equals to 3/4 of a cup. Please clarify.
ReplyI agree, I saw the recipe and thought of it as a cheap knock-off...Don't try this, literally makes absolutely no sense...
Reply Show More CommentsI didn't chill them as I had no space in my fridge. Just rolled them into balls and baked. Turned out great! To answer Laura's question, I used cups as I read it that way :) will be saving the recipe, had perfect round cookies!!! wish i could post a pic here.
ReplyBest Cookies Ever!!👍♥️❤️
ReplyJe pensais que les biscuits étaient extrêmement bons. Pas le meilleur, mais bon. :)
ReplyWell, I’m only 12 and thought that for a young kid that the instructions were easy to follow, and if yo Lu don’t slack off and watch the cookies in the oven, you take them out a little bit early, like a minute, then they continue baking on the hot tray. Also if you flatten out the cookie dough before it goes into the oven, not to much, the it creates a better cookie. Overall, me and my dad had fun making it, and that’s all the counts.
ReplyBest cookies ever!
