HELP! I’ve been making cookies from the Nestles Tollhouse cookie recipe for 40 years but the last two times I made them, they spread out and ran together instead of baking like they should. I’ve rechecked my ingredients about 10 times and can’t figure out what’s wrong. I thought maybe my oven temperature was off but the thermometer was only a few degrees too high.
Anybody have any suggestions? These are my favorite cookies and I don’t want this to happen again. (Although they still taste good…I put them in the freezer and that makes them even better!!!) I was making them for a neighbor who just lost her mother but didn’t want to give them to her looking like they did so made something else.
I know sometimes the difference (margarine/oil impacts too). One other thing: humidity level in the house might be affecting it.
I fell asleep reading today (which I do often) and it came to me in a dream. I used baking SODA instead of baking POWDER. Can’t believe it did it twice though. Good Lord, I hate getting old.
PS: I ALWAYS use butter, I’m a Wisconsin girl. My husband used to say I’d eat s*** if I could butter on it. Hmmm… Actually, I used to use shortening but I don’t buy it anymore because, living alone, I don’t use enough of it and it gets rancid. Plus, the trans-fats, ya know. If I’m going to have clogged arteries, I rather clog them with butter. :o)
