I’m absolutely thrilled today! My friends and I have come together to celebrate a special blogging friend we hold dear in our hearts – Juliane from Beyond Frosting. Juliane is expecting her first little bundle of joy, a sweet baby boy, and today, we’re throwing her a virtual baby shower!
My association with Juliane goes way back, and her heart is as pure as gold. In large gatherings, she’s reserved, but when you get her one-on-one, the conversations are always the best. I adore her, and she’s bound to be an incredible mom.

Precision in Measuring Flour
For this particular recipe, accurate flour measurement is crucial. Here’s the right way to do it:
Scoop the flour using a spoon into the measuring cup, and then level it off.
Scooping directly from the flour bag can lead to an excessive 25% more flour, resulting in crumbly and unmanageable cookie dough.
Additional Tips and Tricks
Here are some other valuable tips to ensure your cookies turn out perfectly:
- Use room temperature butter; it should yield to gentle pressure without sinking entirely. Leave the butter on the counter for about 30 minutes to achieve this.
- Crush your potato chips thoroughly before measuring them. Half a cup of whole chips is quite different from half a cup of crushed chips.
- Employ a cookie scoop for uniformity. This ensures even baking, preventing some cookies from browning excessively while others remain undercooked. I recommend using this cookie scoop.
