My chocolate chip cookies finally stopped spreading into one big blob
For the last three years, my cookies would always melt into a single flat sheet on the pan, no matter what recipe I used. I tried chilling the dough, using more flour, and even a different brand of butter. Last week, I was making a batch for a friend's party and decided to just use a kitchen scale for the first time, measuring everything in grams. Turns out I was using way too much butter because my cup measurements were off. I baked a test cookie and it held its shape perfectly. The whole batch came out thick and chewy, just like I wanted. Has anyone else fixed a long-time baking fail by switching to a scale?

Yeah, a scale fixed my bread too.
