"you just need a very powerful handmixer" - I am a student on a budget, this dough is gonna see some mediocre fork whisking and that's it. Bit of hand kneading if I'm feeling generous.

[@merry_christmas]

As an ex restaurant sous/student on a budget, I highly vouch for cheap handmixers (eg. the TriStar 3-in-1) above all fancy brands. They somehow last longer and are less painful to replace if they eventually die. Suddenly you can turn all your leftover veggies into soups, purees and pastas, make cookies with random ingredients (some of my best recipes originated from being too poor for normal ingredients). Pretend to be fancy sometimes. Y'all deserve it.

[@theZmoee]

If you have any nice thrift stores in your area you can always find used hand mixers for really cheap. I’ve had one for about 4 years now that I got for $2 at a thrift shop. I can afford to buy a much nicer one now but it still works fine so I won’t 🤷🏽‍♀️

When the cookies come out of the oven, drop the pan onto the counter from about 24". This will knock the air out and somehow "densify" them into being even more chewy. Don't know the science-y explanation for this, but I picked this up several years ago and it's my favorite way to make cookies.

[@711stevether]

I think it'd be worth doing a basics episode or series on equipment. Like how every oven isn't the same, top rack vs bottom, getting a thermometer to check that the set temp matches actual, when the recipe says bake for 30, bake for 15, then 10, then 5 until done, rotating trays , etc. Another on stove tops, different types of pots and pans and their use, seasoning, maintenance, what "on low" means, what a simmer is. Knives and their use, technique. I think there's a lot of content there (and a lot of plugs for your products...), and something you picked up naturally but a lot of amateurs don't know out of the gate when they follow recipes exactly but get bad results. Food for thought.

[@sxblck]

[@jasminhohn722]

If you use only refrigerated peanutbutter instead of the butter you get perfect cookies. But, the dough has a different feel to it. You should push them a litlle flatter, cause they're not going to change their shape while backing. And you should only bake them for 8-10 minutes max, cause otherwise they will be too hard. You can put anything else inside that you like, but dont put any more liquid inside, even if you think the dough isn't smooth enough. It just makes them really hard. :D

One of the things I came up with that I'm most proud of is my walnut cookie recipe, where you add lots of _freshly_ ground walnuts to your base cookie batter (mine is different from Babish's version); I use a lot less sugar in my cookie dough base for the recipe as that's how I like it, and the result is a sweet, very nutty and earthy cookie. I should add that there's a slight bitterness to the aftertaste as there are so many walnuts in the dough, but I appreciate that flavor

Everythings great, additional things to really boost the cookies that my mom and I prefer is to warm the browned butter some not so its liquid but so its soft and incorporates better as well as sifting the dry ingredients.

Ok but a word of advice I always live by from Milk Bar's Christina Tossi - whip. Your. Butter. It needs to at least double in volume before you're ready to add the sugar. Whip everything before the flour stage. When you get to flour, you have to fold it as gently as possible and always always chill your cookies before baking. Most cookie recipes have a lot of butter in them and you need to give that butter a chance at survival before baking.

[@monroerobbins7551]

Suggestion for movie theater floor cookies: for every two sweet things, add a salty thing, to give a more complex flavor. Also, a way my mum tests if cookies are ready is by the shine test. If the cookies have a gloss, they’re not ready. If they have less of a shine and more of a diffused look, they’re most likely ready. Plus, poking them helps get a feel of if they got that classic cookie feel, even while they’re at that fresh out of the oven soft.

[@bandiceet]

Baking tip: If you do your research (i.e. really look through the flour section of a decently stocked supermarket, or, if you are exceptionally lucky, your local shop that really knows their stuff and/or bakery supplier, you can get "Soft" flour. "Soft" flour has less protein in it than general All Purpose flour (or Plain flour, depending on where you are from) so it is great for things like cake, cookies, biscuits, or anything where you really don't want the gluten to develop.

In general, when I’m baking I use vanilla extract if the recipe calls for it. That being said, sometimes I’m forgetful and don’t add it. The main difference I’ve found is that if you don’t add it your baked goods will smell more eggy if there are eggs in the recipe.

Thank you! I was wondering the same thing. Haha. I've been adding bourbon instead lately. Something tells me these cookies might benefit from that as well.

Granted this is a Basics episode, and a spectacular one at that, but a great Binging reference for these amazing cookies and the dough base from which they all originate would be The Matrix Revolutions. "Cookies need love like everything does" 😎 The OG cookies from the Oracle's apartment in Matrix I would be ideal too.
