Cookie Recipe Hack - SORTED

We're concerned about giving you this one... it's the crown jewels of cookie recipes! Once you have this one, you may never need a cookie recipe again.
It's based around a very simple ratio - 1:2:3. 1 part sugar : 2 parts fat : 3 parts flour (then by all means add in a few flavours that you like that don't effect those ingredients)

I loved this format! Not that I don't love Barry and Jamie, but Ben was kicking ass and Mike was great as narrator and DP.

[@SortedFood]

Erin Orlowski So much easier when they're away! :p

[@BeardedDanishViking]

Why do i get the feeling that it was Jamie's idea to do that "What's going in Bens mind" segment.

[@SortedFood]

You over estimate me... You fully have Mike to blame/thank!!

[@RaidenX196]

SORTED Food I'm wondering what that footage was from. Since it seems hilarious.

[@xAyumiAnimex]

RaidenX196 Its called "This Aerobic Video Wins Everything" :D

[@RaidenX196]

Haah. Thanks a ton. It's super catchy, and I have a feeling any one of them could kill me in a single uppercut.

[@xAyumiAnimex]

LOL Well if you watch Key and Peele's "uncensored" version you can see how violent things can get... (It's a parody and its hilarious)

[@volleyballbabe1114]

As much as I love Barry and Jamie, I ADORE the dynamic between Mike and Ben! [so many heart eyes]

[@RubyDynamite]

***** Seconded - Ben + Mike videos are best videos! ^.^

[@deanyang9483]

I ship it #Bike Lol jk

[@emptyarray]

All the delicious cookies in front of him and all Mike wants is a peanut butter cookie... also Ben trying to speak with food in his mouth, too cute!!!

[@SortedFood]

cwymichelle Sorry... my mum always told me not to do that!

[@GowthamiIIMS]

Chocolate cake

[@claudiawalter123]

Peanut Butter Cookies: 50g soft brown sugar, 50g dark brown sugar, 125g unsalted butter, 75g peanut butter, 300g flour then add chopped up reeses peanut butter cups!!! YUM!;)

[@SortedFood]

Sounds like heavenly 1:2:3 cookies to me! Never tried it but using the rules... I bet it works! :)

[@TheLanuella]

3:48 WHAT WERE YOU THINKING XDDD I DIED

[@Anonymous07164]

lmao thought that was so funny too:D

[@IceFigureGirl]

I keep watching it over and over again xD

[@pujaesha]

LOL!

[@mantharoxursox]

It's a scene from saved by the bell (;

[@emmymade]

SMART!!!

[@SortedFood]

emmymadeinjapan We're smart cookies huh? :)

[@emmymade]

SORTED Food har, har, har :)

[@maxthegiraffe1493]

If you do the math its even easier to remember you have 1,2,3 and you have the 180degrees 18-(1+2+3) = 12 and you have to cook them for 12 minutes just a little bit more maths there for you Ben 😄 Love Sorted food videos they are awesome and i used some to cater my mums birthday and everyone loved it thank you guys!

[@TheTaffa91]

That's cool! )

[@NatsuDatsu]

I just noticed recently: Whenever Barry and Jamie aren't in a Video, Mike and Ben get along so well. Mike is always very interested and he is just teasing Ben a little, rather then bullying :D It's nice for a change! Ben (and his food) get the attention he deserves ;**

[@Dubiously1]

I always think he's saying "Sorted Butter" and for a while I was confused like 'why do they have their own brand of butter of all things I don't understand'

[@dancerCAMbree]

Whenever I'm stressed or feeling down, I know I can always come watch a Sorted video and immediately start feeling better. Thanks guys!!

[@akshayajonnalagadda454]

This hack is amazing. It works amazingly for chocolate chip cookies too. And if you don't have white chocolate and cherries, you could use dark chocolate and blueberries instead. That tastes like heaven

[@ElizabethJJ]

love mike's narrations! do it more often mike!

[@katbrewster6578]

this is such a great video!!! i would love some more of these kinds of "mastering the basics by understanding cooking science" videos.

[@liannemurray4752]

Love this video ☺️ would you be able to make a video-kinda like part 2 to this-explaining what different ratios make different types of cookies? Like melted butter for chewy- more sugar for crispier ones etc... Thanks ❤️

[@fimelis]

I watched this video and then went out and did it immediately. Easy to make a small portion of cookies. Delicious ones.

[@snowdjagha]

Such a nice video! Full of tips and tricks. Nicely done!

[@McKayJill]

I love it when the cooking nerd comes out! You can tell how much he is loving it :) I have the same book, I haven't tried anything from it yet, but now I definitely will

[@ck121395]

Just about one of my favorite sorted videos ever!

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

Loved this! Though we'll still want other cookie recipes since it's nice to have a diversity of cookie textures. I once had these wonderfully thin, crispy and chewy cookies that I still think about. Guessing high sugar and high fat and low flour.

[@MrTrousers69]

learned this from my grandmother and my mother. they both learned much cooking without measurements and when I did the conversions for measurements after they taught me, I was surprised on how close they were to most basic recipes. It's impressive how people cooked just by feel. proves that our natural sense of smell and taste really help in the kitchen.

[@jeynalim]

OMG, you, dear Ben, have made my life so much easier. I need more hacks from you!

[@londonrobinson2922]

This was honestly one of the best Sorted Food videos in quite a while!

[@EudaemoniusMarkII]

Yes, love this! Very easy for people to remember.

[@reevanraja5630]

You guys taught me how to cook and bake.Thank you so much.You guys should join in the any coops You guys rule the cookery world.l love all your recipes on your app and website.

[@rajeshome]

Hi there ... this is super awesome video ... i have been looking for this for long time ... you guys really Sorted ... thank you for sharing !

[@IrishCol1only]

What a great tip guys, thank you. Will definitely be able to remember these ratios without having to look up a recipe each time...fab!!

[@srs21able]

I absolutely loved this video

[@TastyFoodBites]

This has made making cookies so simple!! Thanks for the great video!

[@chucknight]

Incredibly helpful!! Thank you!

[@VetEdithTen]

Wow! Thank you. Must try.

[@Amira15smile]

Mike's commentary is great, just brilliant

[@abelandcole]

Love the 1:2:3 ratio, really helpful. But mainly, the first ten seconds are utter genius.

[@Tactavious]

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" Hahaha, I love Mike and Ben. Barry and Jaime are great too. This channel is just awesome, love it guys.

[@MsSpark111]

Eggless cookies??!!! Yes!!!!! I love u Ben♥♥♥♥ Here in India ppl aren't too comfortable with he idea of eggs in a sweet dish like cookies or even cake.. I mean I eat eggs in cookies or cakes but many vegetarian friends don't.. so this video is perfect♥ Thanks a lot! I was looking for good Eggless cookie recipes for like ages! Can't thank u enough. The brain workout part was hilarious btw lol

[@mari-jozilveti1209]

The best recipe ever and ever. Never will forget the steps: 1, 2 and 3.

[@mariakikhel627]

That's such a clever idea, thank you! !

[@Lenaxiss]

Great recipes!

[@saifon2007]

Ben......that's brilliant! !!!

[@foodishbeauty]

Mmm... Cookies! Might have to bake up a batch tomorrow now after seeing this!

[@diariesofapossessedboy6257]

I read the video as "cookie cakes" and I got really excited! Anywho, this video was still great, loved it!

[@Feedingmykid]

Superb cookie recipe hack!!

[@michelledao5457]

This is it. This is my new favorite Sorted video.

[@religypoggs2822]

Love this!!

[@zlioness]

That is basically what's in my head all the time, as well.

[@thebakerslane7467]

Great you should do a series like this again.

[@amandaescobar15]

THAT WAS BRILLIANT!!!

[@KaterinaTalantliva]

very nice and easy to count food!!!

[@Janderaletr]

all three of them look tasty!

[@emilyfung6342]

This is the simplest cookie hack ever!! I'm always scared of making cookies because I usually fail.. They come out either too hard or undercooked in the inside! Will surely try this out!

[@gracefelde5092]

Omg yesss. This is so helpful and btw I love you guys!!!

[@NahrenShamoka]

It has been a looonnggg week! SORTED Food, how I've missed thee! This was a cute video! Recipe looks really great, will have to try this out as well!

[@JSaDiablo1]

So I made these today, I made double chocolate and coconut and they were a huge hit with my whole family (including my wee 11 month old). Thank you for such a simple easy hack that I can use any filling with.

[@april9586]

It's so simple, my mum and I are going to make these today as a Mother's Day activity! :)

[@IntrepidgrlVentures]

Works everytime and my Peanut butter version with jelly in the middle is my FAV!! :)

[@ThisMindFreak]

Yea, the star of the show for me always was and is Ben. Keep up the good work!

[@salmaelkhateeb1413]

I always make cookie but I didn't know that, definitely gonna give it a try

[@JJoeisCooking]

I've been using the 1-2-3 method for years. It makes great cookies. You can flavor them anyway you want and you can easily make a very small batch if you just want a few.

[@addalittlefood]

This is an AMAZING video - that first scene wow

[@archiecook55]

I might try the white chocolate cherry one, it looks good.

[@xueqir]

LOVED THIS VIDEO! Please do more hacks :)

[@Jan2times]

I have that book!

[@The1andOnlyCiara]

Thanks guys xx

[@zweitzedirckvanderheide4364]

i've have tries them with peanut butter and it was amazing

[@Onekitchenblogfood]

Wuhu, looks great!

[@ChaSoewongso]

SORTED Food I really love food hacks! Thank you for the video SORTED Guys!

[@Schokotierkoepfer]

thx soo much I was looking for something like this :D

[@moomoocachoo9025]

My hack for cookies is to always add some arrowroot flour. Corn starch would work too. This helps give the cookies a chewy texture and make them oh so good!!!

[@SortedFood]

Mochi Rochi Haven't tried that... nice tip!

[@kamonrot]

Wow! the perfect ratio

[@ColinHarding]

Very interesting!!!

[@ClioJPrice]

After watching this.. I went into my parents kitchen at 12am in the morning and cooking biscuits. Thanks Ben!

[@hannahplas2495]

I know that this is an old video, but *Mike will be interested in this comment* : You can substitute butter in any recipe for a nut butter - e.g. peanut butter. So, just make the cookies with any flavours you like, but substitute half or all of the butter for peanut butter! Should work! :)

[@marginator007]

That was adorkable

[@MrHer9]

I love this! Simple and easy, adding this to my simple BBQ, pizza and bread recipe :D

[@XxFreakenFreshxX]

yes yes yes!! so trying this

[@cathyc926]

BEN FINALLY DISCOVERED MY FAVORITE BOOK

[@darkcopra1379]

In Germany a very traditionel recipe for Christmas cookies, here it's called Mürbeteig (name of the dough) - Plätzchen (cookie in german). But i really like the twists also good are one's with dried Cherrys, Almond and chocolate :D

[@SarahCuthbert60]

Have you ever tried Biscoff biscuits, by Lotus? They're amazing! But what most people don't realise, is that there is a spread version of them which is INCREDIBLE. It's almost like peanut butter consistency, but caremelly goodness instead. Anyway, I really want to try making cookies with it - I'll have to try when I go home from uni in a few weeks!

[@mermaidboobies]

Have you tried biscoff cookies instead of graham crackers in a pie crust? Yummm!! Esp with pumpkin pie.

[@SarahCuthbert60]

Sara Schultz Ooh that's a good idea!

[@noannellesky9360]

It annoys me so much that they're known as "Biscoff" cookies... It's actually a Belgian/Dutch specialty called "Speculoos" and yes, it is incredibly delicious! Especially the variety with a bit of chocolate on top, when you dunk them in coffe: it is heavenly! And that spread on warm toasted bread in the morning is just perfect! :)

[@archiecook55]

mmmm I love Biscoff. The cookies are delicious and I love putting the spread on a hot toasty bagel. :)

[@KendraValentine]

Cookie Butter: Yes!

[@joy2504]

SORTED Food apparently Ben's mind is filled with '70s or '80s workout videos... Interesting haha you guys are great. Love from Colorado, USA.

[@katelynmarsh8102]

I am made these cookies with some pumpkin pie spice and vanilla and brought them into work. I have never received so many compliments on a cookie!

[@KZ-hu9uj]

The editing on this vid was gorgeous XD

[@donnafitzgerald3804]

Love it thank you :)

[@dracolalalamalfoy]

high school calculus sent me screaming running away from math, but i love how ben uses ratios to make our lives beyond simple again!!!!!!!!! this is so cool :)

[@KenMattsson]

Ruhlman's book ratio rules. It's even pretty good for gluten free baking with some adjustments.

[@crybabymoon]

Are you kidding me... I just made cookies and went watching videos after, and now I see this. I want to be a time lord

[@MasiaMaksymowicz]

Thats so cool, I will try it soon! I wish I could use the app so I could upload the pictures though.... ;)

[@kiranhanifa]

Thanks that was really helpful THUMBS UP!

[@mandevillesisters]

Don't know about anyone else? But I need to go make cookies now. -A,x

[@mallaidhdevlin4512]

This video has changed my life.

[@MIA123247]

You guys are Amazing at what you do😄 I want to tell all of you that people like you make this cold world that we live in a little better. Thank you for your dedication and effort in every single one your videos. God bless you and hope to one day meet one of you😊(I know that's kind of impossible, but I won't loose hope;)

[@lynnielouwhothebomb]

Every time. Every single time. I get on thinking, "What's going on in the Sorted world today?" And then I am surprised and delighted by what you guys bring me. Also: Ben is hilarious, and if I were his friend, I'm sure I would be quite chubby by now.

[@JessStokesPINKCUCKOOS]

This is awesome, thanks guys! :-D

[@Annie1962]

Wow great to know! Ta muchly !

[@290Sammie]

THIS IS THE GREATEST! Yes!!!

[@aishaiftikhar1923]

Awesome! Thanks Guys. :)

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Nice to see a bit of Adam Buxton creeping in 1:02

[@Annaqv]

this is great tbh

[@timorgano]

Winter Spice Cookies: Basic dough, then add cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, allspice. Absolutely fan-frigging-tastic

[@CurlyBoost]

Why is Ben so adorable?!

[@ZeddReddftw]

Love the 1:2:3 tip but I NEED to see the full version of the dancing video! Can someone please link me the video. It looks entertaining and fun!
