Weighing Vs. Measuring
Dec 18, 2005 | From the kitchen of Rose
Barb Question:
Gold Medal, all purpose, pre-sifted. When I bake chocolate chip cookies, there is sometimes a difference in texture and I wondered if I measured the flour by weight instead of dry measure, I could achieve a more consistent result.
Rose Reply:
Yes—there is no doubt about it. weighing gives more consistent results. but there are other factors involved, for example, if it is warmer in the room or the cookies dough is softer when baked they will be flatter and crisper. depending on your preference, you could chill the cookies until firm before putting them in the oven.
