[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re insisting on “the good butter”, that could be your problem. US recipes are written for stick butter, unless it specifies something else. Other butters have different amounts of fat and water, so if you use a different one, your recipe may not turn out.

And I hate those huge $3 cookies. I want to eat a cookie in a few bites, and maybe have another, rather than trying to down those huge monstrosities.

It’s fine if you don’t like to bake, but don’t sound so precious by saying buying overpriced 1000 calorie cookies is better.[/quote]

$3 is hardly overpriced. It's a steal. Overpriced are all the $3-4 cookies everywhere which just taste bland or like straight sugar. Their $3 chocolate chip chunk cookies are perfection. Buttery, depth, chewy, crispy, good chocolate, lingering slight toffee aftertaste.

And thank you for the insights on the butter. Just another reason why I don't want to mess with fickle cookie recipes anymore. You have to use a specific butter for a specific chocolate chip cookie recipe? No thanks. I'm so over it.[/quote]

Ok. If you don’t understand about the fat content of butter then you don’t know much about baking. It’s fine if you prefer the bakery cookies; but realize that there are some home bakers for whom baking at home produces better & cheaper cookies. [/quote]
