Is it weird that I want my cookies to over spread? The third one looked the best to me 😅
haha to each their own!
no i definitely agree! 😭
Same here 😅
same!!!
Same!!
“Spreading too much” is literally the perfect cookie
I’d also recommend skipping the measuring cups for flour and even sugar. Get use to weighing out for exact grams and you keep your flour fluff so it doesn’t clump
yes that's a great tip! and if you don't have a scale, I actually have a great blog post on how to measure flour so that you're not adding in too much: ambitiouskitchen.com/how-to-measure-flour
I naturally prefer the overspread cookies 😂
Over spread is where it's at😋🤤
I love the overspread kind tbh when i saw that one i was like "ooo thats the one im getting"
hahah to each their own!!
Literally me too
I like my cookies overspread.
FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS, I LIVE OVERSPREAD COOKIES
@@skippyjej samee😊
Same
I like mine underspread.
@@SeymourLolis ngl umderspread chocolate batter cookies are basically brownies
I like my cookies underspread.
Makes them softer inside😍
Yes
Me too. First cookie
me too
I run a cookie shop for two years yet I still have hard time about the cookies spreading. I found it's not only about the ingredients which make the cookies over spread or even not spread, but the temperature plays too. I found when its in lower temperature, the cookies spreading to much, and if I give it higher temperature, theyre under spreading. but still its based on the cookie ingredients, I dont even once use brown sugar, I always use coconut sugar (or I call it in Indonesia, gula kelapa or gula semut). its from coconut sap, or simplify it, coconut juice? not a really juice,its come from the tree not the fruit. then its browned and crystalized into sugar. maybe the coconut sugar I use influence the cookie dough too.
also.. I dont use any electric oven, because its way too expensive. I always use gas oven even before I run the shop. its cheap although we can't control the temperature fine. thats a common challenge for me too
but thank you for the trial, it helps me!😄
absolutely, there are so many factors that go into it!! glad you found this helpful :)
Baking powder being fresh is so important it's crazy. I was wondering why my pancakes weren't fluffy no matter how hard I try, until I bought a new pack of baking powder.
Exactly!! And it's so easy to forget to replace it!
Mine has never affected the quality and I’m talking 8-10 years or older 😅
I really needed these tips! I don’t like flat cookies! Mine have been too crispy
Thank you SO MUCH!! I always had problems with my cookies not spreading enough, i’ll try these tips next time❤️
glad it's helpful!! ❤️
Ahh now i know why my cookies never get flat. I was baking the dough balls straight out the freezer. Maybe i'll give baking one more try😂
Ohh yes sometimes they just don't melt down/spread out enough that way! Glad this is helpful :)
Overspread is fine with me. Especially that one, it looked perfect 😛
Me: don't care if it's spread perfectly or over spread i just want to eat
Mine were over spread and had an oat taste, I found out it was bc I had old baking powder so I purchased new ones and I’ll try this right now :D thank you so much!
Those cookies look beautiful!
Honestly the "overspread" cookie looks the most delicious to me 😋
I’ve been trying to make cookies from scratch for ever. My chocolate chips/ chunks from name brand chocolate never melts. Why is that google isnt explaining it 😩
Are you using chocolate chips or chocolate bars? Most chocolate chips are meant to hold their shape for the most part through the baking process. If you want nice melted chocolate throughout the cookie, I recommend buying chocolate baking bars in the baking aisle. I use a brand called “bakers”, make sure to get between 56%-70% cacao or the chocolate will be too bitter (in my opinion). Chop the correct amount of chocolate into your recipe and you should get melted chocolate. Hope this helps :)
That's exactly what I'd recommend! Chocolate chips have stabilizers in them to prevent them from melting (so that they hold their shape). A chopped chocolate bar will melt much more easily :)
a year later but nonetheless; it's a great tip to chop up chocolate bars, but you're fine using normal bars. baking bars usually go for more money while the normal 70%+ cacao bar work the same.
Dude I was thinking that I would be weird for liking overspread but turns out these r my people
lol i don't understand you guys!!! hahaha
All cookies 🍪 😋
Overspread looks perfect
overspread looked actually done good
This was so helpful.
I'm so glad!! ❤️
I love a big back cookie
Awesome, thanks for the advice! Those cookies look delicious!
thanks, Shannon!! here's the recipe: www.ambitiouskitchen.com/brown-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies/
@@ambitiouskitchenthanks for the recipe
The overspread looks kinda better outta all of them😋cause i like big chocolate chip cookies also the best kind of cookies that ever existed
We like the overspend cookies. We call them flat and chewies. Crisp on the outside rim and chewy in the middle.
*overspread
Me personally I like my cookies with overspread
Overspread is the perfect cookie…
to each their own!! i love how the middle one stays perfectly fudgy in the middle :)
idk why but i dont really measure things 😅i just use feelings and dont overthink them that much😭
I prefer the overspread cookies 🍪😍
Does anyone know how to stop cookies from falling apart/ crumbling? Thanks 😊❤😘
"make sure you are measuring your flour properly"
-- proceeds to use cup 🤣🤦♂️
I like mine underspread
tell me why the overspread cookie looks the best
What should I do if I put to much flours
Yeah I do love this kind of 🍪cookie why does that matter when you can't have any without a glass of 🥛milk anyways
Thats. That the problem, my baking soda aint fresh 😭😂 so its over spreading
I’ve had this baking soda for years that prolly why thanks
haha yeah it's hard to remember to buy a new one!!
What kind of salt did you use at the end??
But when i made mine they overspreaded and combine into one and then they werent even chewy they were stale
And i baked it right
uh oh! did you use my recipe? also different baking sheets can really affect how they bake up. what kind did you use?
I didn't use yours and i use normal parchment paper but everything i make always overspread do you know why??? I could try your recipe but they are all very similar.
Okay but how do I get mine to overspread? Because that’s where it’s at 😂
measure ingredients using grams
My cookies always look like the third one, and i never realized how ugly they were until i saw the second cookie😢
hahaha it's not ugly!! I just prefer the fudgy-ness of the second one :)
Those cookies look good af lol
THEY ARE OMG!!! here's the recipe: www.ambitiouskitchen.com/brown-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies/
You're doing the video style of that one guy. I'm not knocking you for it. All videos should be more like his. Benjamin the baker I think his name was.
oh i'll have to look him up!
Also the more sugar the flatter they’ll spread
I like underspread!!! Yum!!!
I think the overly spread cookie is the best cookie
Baking soda and baking powder? How about rise?
be sure to follow any cookie recipe the way it's written whether it calls for baking soda or baking powder!
Nah gurl… I researched, baking soda is the leavening agent that causes to spread the cookie. Baking powder does the rising
@@ChloeMercaz That's what I was taught as well: "Soda Spreads, Power Puffs" -- yet, in this video she uses baking soda to reduce spreading, which goes against what I heard. Yet her outcome seems to be successful for her. Very weird.
I appreciate these videos 😊
"underspread" looks a lot tastier
recipe?
ok so based on this, the reason behind my cookie wont spread is the amount of flour that are (too much) when i lessened its sugar?
what's the perfect, i dunno.... ratio?
i tried once with the same recipe (that i cut the amount of sugar) using lesser flour and its.... still wont spread.
probably over mixed? since i dont use any mixing machine
hi! yes, if you alter the amount of any ingredient it's probably going to change the texture. the amount of sugar will definitely affect how much it spreads! I can't say a specific ratio; it really depends on the recipe you use.
Do you put the cookie balls straight from the fridge into the oven? Or do you have to wait for it to cool down to room temperature before putting it into the oven?
if they've been in the fridge for a while and are really hard, I often let them sit at room temp for about 30 minutes before baking so that they'll spread easier :)
Overspread pls 🤤❤️
My cookie pan becomes a cookie cake in the oven... Like OVERRRR spread... Why? I ffollow a simple recipe..?
I got a food scale for $5.99 and it is the greatest investment I’ve ever made!!!
🙌🙌🙌
My cookies almost ALWAYS come out underspread, what if I just don’t chill them 😅
haha it definitely depends on the recipe you use!! and it's super important to make sure you're measuring your flour correctly so that you're not adding too much (here's how i measure mine: ambitiouskitchen.com/how-to-measure-flour)
@@ambitiouskitchen alright I tried it and wow. I did not know that measuring flour like that would make such a huge difference. Thank you!!
Fresh banking soda, do u mean i should conserve it in the fridge!
just make sure it's not older than 6 months or so!
What is the recipe?
How long does they last ??
A few days on the counter, or you can freeze them! Here's the recipe: www.ambitiouskitchen.com/brown-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies/
Can we get recipe
this is just an example of tips for cookies! feel free to try with any cookie recipe you'd like :) I like to make my brown butter chocolate chip cookies: www.ambitiouskitchen.com/brown-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies/
What kind of sea salt do you sprinkle on top at the end?
flaky sea salt! i use maldon :)
That hard rock
How long do the cookies rest outside the fridge before baking though??
I'd recommend about 30 minutes!
A cookie must taste like a cookie
Thats all u guys need to know v:
Followed everything and still couldn't get them to overspread or even spread!! I'm sooooo sad. They're good and all kinda chewy but just aren't my dream cookies!! Is it the sugar? I don't like the normal cookie bcs they're too o sugary around 90 to 135% sugar in comparison with flour so I've been trying 80 which I still think is too much and lower like 60% but I don't know... it's bugging me I got cookies to spread with too much sugar and with less sugar but lately they just wouldn't even changing all the brandsssss dozens of times...
hi! what recipe did you use? i'd recommend my brown butter chocolate chip cookies: www.ambitiouskitchen.com/brown-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies/
Overspread gang
👇
Recipe?
Less spreading is a better more moist and chewy cookie.
feel free to make them that way if you prefer! they'll still be delicious.
yumyum
Over spread is the best
No matter what recipe my cookies never spread😢
it probably has to do with the recipe, then!! I definitely recommend these ones: www.ambitiouskitchen.com/brown-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies/
If you don't want your dough to go in the oven cold, why are you chilling it in the first place??
Chilling cookie dough creates a smooth caramel flavor, with crispy brown edges, a chewy interior and crackly tops. This happens because the fat in the recipe (butter) is solid and the sugar also absorbs some of it.
What I meant is if you chill your cookies for a really long time and the cookies are super solid, they may not spread enough in the oven, so you can thaw them a bit after chilling before they go in the oven :)
Measure properly = use a scale.
The way you measure flour properly is by mass
100%. But in the U.S. a lot of people don't have scales so I've found this way to be the next best thing!
overspread>>>
Should make huge ginormous cook some time
Did you use melted or softened butter?
this recipe uses browned butter actually! here you go: www.ambitiouskitchen.com/brown-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies/
@@ambitiouskitchen yay thank you so much!
I dont know why it is annoying but all cookies are chocolate chip unless otherwise specified and therefore you can just call them cookies
So I do I make them underspread?
you want just the right amount of spread for the perfect texture!
How do i make them overspread
Use old baking soda, don’t refrigerate batter and use melted butter 😂
Pls help me
My cookies can never spread
I follow every thing u said

Pandrop!
Yes to each their own, the middle one is not perfect that’s relative. Most people prefer what you label overspread. Not sure about these so called tips.
Measure "properly" ... meanwhile every North American home cook's recipe swears by VoLuMetRic MEasUrEmeNt.
WTAF is a cup of flour supposed to even be exactly? Changes massively depending on how much you've packed it together.
Hahaha I know, a scale is absolutely the best way to measure! A lot of people don't have one though so the scoop & level method is the next best thing.
@@ambitiouskitchen using a scale and measuring by weight = the one thing I really hope fitness meal preppers can actually make stick for the greater good of the wider world of home cooks (or at least for the less confident amongst us that lack a grandma's intuition at least 😅)
Where do I buy fresh baking soda? I only have the boxes
yes I just mean a fresh box! that hasn't been in the cabinet for many years LOL
What is the hell does "fresh" baking soda mean?
Meaning it hasn't been sitting for many years in your pantry 😅
Kind of unrelated, but: Maleficent and Frollo are the perfect Disney Villains. Maleficent is pure evil personified, whilst Frollo is a well developed character that can be any human you encounter in your life, which is haunting.
I like my cookies under done
same!
why americans would rather use cups instead of grams to measure things like flour will never make sense to me
Haha I know!! But most people just aren't in the practice of owning a scale + weighing so this method is for all of those people :)
