I used to make this recipe ten years ago in a different oven and the cookies were incredible. They were just like millies cookies.

Ive made 2 batches last week one turned out cakey and one turned out part raw. Today I've done 6 cookies baked one at a time with various timings and I can't get it right! If they're not cakey they're raw.

Does 180C mean in a fan or non fan oven? And I'm using dark brown sugar does that change things?

Ahhhhhhh that makes sense thanks so much! How much should I add if I'm using plain flour?

[–] AmazingAwesomator@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

might as well just hand it over, lol. this is my ingredient list:

1 Cup (2 sticks) Butter
2-1/3 Cup Flour
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
2 Tablespoons Milk
1-1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla
1 Bag (~11-12oz) of Choco Chips (substitutable)

edit: note: 2 eggs are for 1 whole egg + 1 egg yolk

edit 2: my steps... might as well....

#Melt Butter

melt the butter and let it cool slightly

#Mix 1

Mix together flour, salt, baking soda

putting onto paper plate after mixing works well here...

#Mix 2

In mixer, add butter, sugar, & brown sugar, and beat for 2 minutes

#Mix 3

Mix together 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, milk, vanilla

#Mix 3 & 2

Mix 3 into mix 2 on slow/stir

#Mix Plate

Slowly pour Mix 1 into main mix, make sure it fully mixes

#Add Chips

Pour in your chocolate (or whatever type) chips; mix on slow/stir until combined, then turn off.

#Chill

Chill in the fridge for 1 hr

#Prep & Bake

Split into 24 cookies. Use parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes at 375F.

2 sheets per bake swap sheets 1/2 way through

You superstar! I've screenshotted it thanks so much. Is flour just plain flour? And do they go chewy not cakey because I feel cursed atm

[–] AmazingAwesomator@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

yes, i use all-purpose flour (same as plain flour, just american); these have that cookie texture, not the cakey texture (a small rise, but not a ton)

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 months ago

You've been really kind helping me so much mate, i really appreciate it 🙏

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago

I made these today. I knocked the sugar down by 1/3 and I did misread it and put it in the freezer not the fridge. They are cakes not cookies cry cry cry 😢 I give up

[–] AmazingAwesomator@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 months ago
