“I made these yesterday with my niece. We used Tollhouse morsels and light brown sugar and followed your recipe to the T by weight. We ended up getting 28 cookies from the batch. I definitely like that we got slightly more than slightly fewer. Our oven is small” — a cook
“I just made these cookies and they are okay, but not exactly how I thought they might turn out to be. Firstly, if we’re talking about science, the recipe calls for baking soda when there is no acid in the recipe to react with, therefore it should call for baki” — a cook
