I blame it on the elevation.<br /><br />but i have found that a little bit more flour and a little less butter usually does the trick.<br /><br />i so missed you in salt lake this weekendMaryPosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13800343213304100139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8063188266066151832.post-63113272899943665972009-06-15T11:29:53.393-06:002009-06-15T11:29:53.393-06:00Those devil's food cookies look goo-ood. Ha ha...Those devil's food cookies look goo-ood. Ha ha, I thought that pic of your first batch was funny! Thanks for posting it! Beth looked at it with me and she said, "Mom, can we look at a picture of some cool cookies now?" That made me laugh. <br /><br />As far as your repeated chocolate chip cookie disasters, it may have more to do with your methodology than your recipe. Whenever I make chocolate chip cookies I use real butter (but I have also used shortening and that works), but I let the butter thaw at room temp for a couple of hours. Whenever I microwave it, or if it melts before I mix the cookies, I get cookies like those. I use the classic Betty Crocker recipe, and it usually turns out great. Yup, I would bet your problem is either too high on the butter-to-flour ratio (too much butter), or that your butter was melted before mixed in. I have confidence in you! You can still yet master those cookies!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
