In reply to Angela. Hi Angela! They should flatten out just fine by themselves while baking. No pressing down needed. :)

I have read the instructions and watched the video, I promise. 😉 But just to make sure — you don’t press these at all, like to flatten them even just a smidge before baking? Many thanks! I’m doing a July 4th version for a party this evening:D

In reply to Veronica. I'm so sorry to hear this happened, Veronica! Did you make any substitutions? Is your oven temperature accurate? Did you weigh your flour?

The cookies spread out super thin when baking, and were burnt on the bottom but still chewy and raw on the top. They were inedible 🙁

In reply to Sam Merritt. The cookies are actually pretty good despite the appearance issues I mentioned before. And I did not measure the flour. I just used three cups as suggested in the recipe. I also do make sure the flour is not packed, so I don’t know where I went wrong here.

In reply to Carol. I'm so sorry to hear you experienced this, Carol! Did you weigh your flour? Did you make any substitutions or alterations? You can watch me make them in the video to see the dough. I hope that helps! :)

The cookies do not turn out like the photo. The batter is dry, like pie crust. I wet the rolled dough in order for the sprinkles to stick. However, when I baked it for 9 min, the cookie spreads and cracks so the sprinkles spread out.

In reply to Stephanie. Hello, You may have creamed your butter/sugar mixture longer for a fluffier cream which results in more cookies! Hope that helps!

In reply to Jessica. Hi Jessica! Are you weighing your flour? You may have a little too much flour in the dough.

These cookies are FABULOUS and I can’t stop making them! Sam, your recipes are amazing! In a sea of weird (probably AI) recipes that don’t usually turn out well, I know I can count on your recipes to always turn out. I also very much appreciate you providing weight measurements for the most accurate bake. Thank you!! P.s. please email me if you’re ever on the lookout for a recipe tester

In reply to Bridgette. Hi Bridgitte! A whole egg will work, but the cookies could be slightly puffier and spread a little bit.

Hi! Want to try this recipe but cut it in half the first time. Will that work if I just use one entire egg?

In reply to Donna. Oh no! That's definitely not how they should've turned out, how frustrating.

These came
Our flat and way too sweet. Not at all what I expected.

In reply to Penny. Hi Penny! You could scoop them larger but I'm not sure on a bake time. Enjoy! :)

Hi!
These are amazing!! I wanted to know if I wanted slightly larger cookies, could I possibly do 2tbs size balls and if so how much longer would I cook it for?

In reply to Sam. Interesting. They were indeed delicious and so cute! Love all your recipes. Your site is top of my list to check out when I need a good recipe that works. :) Thanks so much for responding.

In reply to Stephanie. Hi Stephanie! I'm glad you enjoyed them! I actually use a tablespoon sized cookie scoop as well. Interesting that you got so many more than I did, but as long as they tasted good that's what's important! :)

Hi there. Thank you for this delicious recipe. I made these yesterday and I used the OXO small cookie scoop (1 tablespoon), which weighed 15 grams, and I got 65 cookies. You state that you scooped yours at 1 tablespoon per cookie and your video looks like a small cookie scoop, but why the significant difference in the number of cookies? Can you tell me how you measured your “tablespoon”?
Thanks!

In reply to Eltee. They should be good for about a week in an air tight container. :)

In reply to Edie. Such a fun recipe! Just wondering how long they'll last if kept in an air tight container. Thanks!
