Simple guide that shows exactly where you’re going wrong with your cookies wows thousands
A simple guide that shows you where you’re going wrong with your baking has taken the internet by storm, as men and women continue to turn to baking while stuck in coronavirus isolation.
The guide was first shared on Reddit and aims to show ‘all the ways you can f**k up a chocolate cookie’.
The ways include adding too much flour, not enough flour, over-beating your eggs, over-baking and not melting your butter beforehand.
All of these approaches result in a cookie that is too large and flat, misshapen, too crunchy and over-done or just a bit of a gooey mess.

The graphic also shows what the perfect cookie looks like by comparison.
While thousands online were impressed with the guide, others said they disagreed with what the perfect cookie looks like.
‘The “not enough flour” cookie looks the most perfect to me. Fresh out of the oven, that’s the one I’m grabbing first,’ one commenter said.
‘Chef here… completely agree. The not enough flour, maybe with one more minute of baking time for more colour is way better looking,’ another added.
Others highlighted that they would rather eat the over-baked cookie than the so-called ‘perfect’ biscuit.
‘The over-baked looks best. Crunchier,’ one commenter wrote.
‘A dozen over-baked if you please,’ another added.
Experts explained that if your cookies aren’t baking evenly, it could be because you’re putting too much trust in your oven and not rotating your cookie pan enough (stock image)
In the past, others have shared all of the things you could be getting wrong when you make cookies at home.
Experts at AllRecipes explained that if your cookies aren’t baking evenly, it could be because you’re putting too much trust in your oven.
‘Ovens have hot spots and cold spots, causing some cookies on your pan to be under-cooked while other are nearly burnt,’ their bakers said.
To remedy this, you should simply rotate your pans midway through the cooking process so they are exposed evenly to the different temperatures in your oven.
You should always use eggs at room temperature rather than straight from the fridge, and make sure you don’t crowd out the cookie pan to avoid the ‘dreaded cookie blob’ (pictured: dietitian Leanne Ward’s three-ingredient cookies)

‘When your cookies are finished baking and you’re pleased with the results, don’t let your hard work go to waste by immediately removing them from the pan,’ AllRecipes said.
Instead, you need to let them set for a few minutes on the baking sheet to prevent them from falling apart when you transfer them to the cooling rack.
