South Central MN | The second recipe is the tollhouse chocolate chip cookie recipe and I use it all the time. I think it was the Country crock that was the problem. What I learned in Baking 101 (Home EC class - my age is really showing) is that after mixing, you should always bake one cookie to see if more flour is needed. I've baked a lot and don't do that, but if you aren't a seasoned baker, it's good advice. Egg sizes are not always the same, so that can make a difference. The one thing that will make a difference for me (because I don't use measuring spoons) is not using enough baking soda - the texture is off. I also take my cookies out of the oven when they look like they are almost done and let them finish baking in the pan before transferring to a cooling rack.
I just re-read your post and also wonder about your mixing order because you mentioned stuff egg whites? When you bake, always start mixing the softened butter first, add the sugar, then vanilla, then eggs, then the dry ingredients, and chocolate chips are last. | |
