does anyone know a secret to fix toll hose cookie dough? mine have turned out very flat?

Answer 1

If you are using the original Toll House Recipe, than it is your alltitude. If so, add 3 tablespoons of flour and lower the heat to 325. Chilling the dough is not recommened for this type of cookie. You should bake these immediately. Letting them sit for even a little while will cause them to flatten out.
Good Luck!

Answer 2

This question is probably in the wrong category.
However it can relate -- I guess -- I you're intent is Maintenance of the recipe OR Repair of the cookie.

The Optimal temperature for butter/margarine, according Cooking.com is 60 degrees (F).
This optimizes the amount of air you incorporate into the cookie dough when you "cream(beat together)" the butter/margarine and sugar.
This creamed mixture is what gives the airyness/crispyness/bulk to the cookie.
As some have noted: Put the dough in the fridge if you will not be baking them rather soon after prepared otherwise the airyness you worked so hard for will be lost. Once lost, it cannot be recovered. You can try to salvage it by adding more flour but even your dog might reject these.
You can also freeze the dough and use it another day(thaw in fridge first).

It can be difficult to make a good crispy cookie on very warm days because of the above noted.

Answer 3

It is essential to chill the dough for at least an hour before baking in order to ensure that they not spread out too far. And between batches, put the bowl of dough back in the refrigerator to keep the dough chilled. Also, if you've left the nuts out (which I sometimes do for recipients with allergies), increase the amount of flour by about 1/2 cup.... Hope that helps you!!

Answer 4

unsure it depends on the flavor... but adding flour and more sugar can help or an egg... more oatmeal...

it depends on the type of cookie... why not trial and error some before you go official...

most of toll house cookies need some external help... i normally add more flour and sometimes an egg to help that'll puff up the cookies...

or if you don't want to do that.. get some cupcake sheets... not the deep ones.. the lesser volume size... and put the dough in there... that'll keep them from spreading!

and no one needs to know any better!

Answer 5

Add 1/4 cup more flour to the dough.

Answer 6

I always add at least 1/2 cup more flour to my cookie dough. Also, you could chill the cookie dough. I like to add some instant vanilla pudding (dry) ---it makes the cookies taste awesome!

Answer 7

Try rolling the cookie dough in ball shape to bake. When I bake my cookies like that, they usally come out good.

Answer 8

Add 1/2 cup of flour for a cakier cookie.

Answer 9

you should ask this in the cooking section but to keep the cookies from gettin flat keep dough in frig till time to put on pan and try to use a cold pan each time

Answer 10

Are you putting the full amount of chocolate chips in the dough?? I have noticed that if I try to use half the amount of chips then they come out flat..
