 What am I doing wrong?
I've done searches for cookie topics. I cannot get my cookies to keep from falling and being thin and flat. I had always used the Nestle Toll House recipe, but I was never satisfied.
This is the recipe I used last and they still went flat:
2 1/4 cup pastry flour (nstead of AP)
3/4 cup Brown Sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Baking Powder (not in the recipe)
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
12 oz. chocolate chips
350 degrees for about 13-15 minutes. (they were big, six per sheet instead of twelve)
The changes that I made were the addition of the Baking Powder, using half shortening, the pastry flour as opposed to AP, and I also baked in on parchment paper instead of anything greased to avoid excess spread. I even chilled the dough in the fridge before hand.
Someone please help me. What else can i do? Should I try just BS or just BP? Should I bake them longer at 300? Should I try Cake Flour? |
