Chocolate Making Days Out

chocolate making days out
do you sift flour that your making chocolate chip cookies from???

I attempted to make choc-o-chip cookies the other day for my daughter and christmas. I followed the recipe on the back of a bag of nestle toll house chocolate chips. I ran all dry ingredients through a sifter before mixing. Is this where I went wrong??? I was so excited until i checked on them and they weren’t melting! And were done, but in round balls, and came out cake or bread like. not cookies. i told my 8yr old they were choco-chip cookie balls! Help

Did you sift prior to measuring or after?

It honestly sounds to me like there was not enough butter or wet ingredients ( or, on the other hand, too much flour ).

Sifting the flour adds lots of extra air – it doubles the volume of the flour, which would explain why they cookies were so light and fluffy that they didn’t even melt into proper cookies.

Cookies generally do not need the flour sifted. Plain old white flour – not cake flour – works just dandy right out of the bag!

Though choco chip cookie balls sounds really good!
