Hello,
I've made cookies, cakes, and brownies in the past using mixes. Now I got the courage to make homemade cookies from scratch! However, they didn't turn out as well as I hoped.
The cookies weren't that thick, and not as full-flavored as I wanted. I made some bigger cookies by dropping the dough in tablespoon fulls, and normal cookies by dropping teaspoon fulls, on greased baking pans. I baked at 350 degrees for about 12-15 minutes.
Here's my recipe:
- 1 cup Smart Balance margarine (67% veg oil)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- half-cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups unbleached flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- white chips + chopped walnuts
Based on the above, can you give me tips to improve my cookies? Ideally, I'd like thick, chewy cookies.
Thanks.
