Ingredient notes
- 270 grams of all-purpose flour is about 2 and a quarter cups.
- 226 grams of room temperature butter is equivalent to 1 cup.
- 150 grams of granulated sugar is about 3/4 cup.
- 165 grams of light brown sugar is also about 3/4 cup.
Tips from Preppy Kitchen's video
- Use a scale for measuring flour for the most accurate results.
- Chill the dough for at least 1 hour; the longer you chill it, the better the texture of the cookies will be.
- When mixing the wet ingredients, ensure to scrape down the bowl to avoid unevenly mixed dough, which can lead to flat cookies.
