Okay so I was totally wrong about weighing flour vs scooping
I always just scooped flour straight from the bag with my measuring cup, thinking it was close enough. My cookies kept coming out flat and spread too much, which drove me nuts. After my third batch failed, my friend told me to try weighing 120 grams of flour per cup instead of scooping. I bought a $12 kitchen scale from Target and tried it yesterday. The cookies came out perfect and thick, just like the picture. Has anyone else had a baking fail turn into a win after switching to a scale?

Wasn't my own disaster, but my roommate went through the exact same thing with banana bread. It kept coming out gummy in the middle no matter what she did. She finally listened to me about weighing the flour, and that next loaf was totally different, like a proper cake. It's wild how much a scoop can change. She won't even look at a measuring cup for dry stuff now.
