Hey guys!
I'm new to this community as well as baking an I have a technical question regarding my cookie results:
I'm using a receipe from foodnetwork.com for chocolate chip hazelnut cookies (listed at bottom) and each time I've made them (twice thus far) they have spread out immensely on the baking sheet. They have become utterly flat, super good but flat and melted together, not keeping their shape ata ll. I was wondering if there is some secret that established bakers are familiar with (and wouldn't mind sharing!) so that this doesn't happen again and I can have seperate cookies instead of cookie cake!
Might it be due to that fact that I haven't chilled my dough prior to baking the cookies, or does that not have such an effect?
RECIPE
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 ounces English toffee candy (recommended: Heath or Skor bar), finely chopped
1 cup hazelnuts, toasted, husked, and chopped
1 (12-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
*I used walnuts instead of hazelnuts because I couldn't find them in my grocery store*
Thanks everybody!
