I was yesterday years old when I realised the reason my chocolate chip cookies never looked "right" is because all the recipes say "place rounded tablespoon" but NONE of them ever say flatten the dough before #baking 🤦🤦🤦 what a difference! Sheesh...
3 chocolate chip cookies stir on a green Pyrex lid. 1 cookie is noticably smaller (but taller) than the other 2.
