Frequently Asked Questions

Q

How much dough per cookie?

A medium cookie uses about 35g (2 tablespoons) of dough. Small cookies use 20g (1 tablespoon), and large bakery-style cookies use 50g (3 tablespoons). The dough ball size determines both yield and spread during baking.

  • Small (1 tbsp): 20g dough, 2.5-inch cookie
  • Medium (2 tbsp): 35g dough, 3.5-inch cookie
  • Large (3 tbsp): 50g dough, 4.5-inch cookie
  • Chill dough 30+ minutes for less spread
  • Frozen dough balls bake with thicker centers

Q

What is the ratio for chocolate chip cookies?

Classic chocolate chip cookie dough is approximately: flour 38%, sugar 25%, butter 22%, eggs 8%, and chocolate chips 7%. This gives a balanced cookie with crispy edges and a chewy center. Brown sugar increases chewiness, white sugar increases crispness.

  • Flour: 38% of total dough weight
  • Sugar (mixed brown/white): 25%
  • Butter: 22%
  • Eggs: 8% (about 1 per 200g flour)
  • Chocolate chips: 7% add-ins
  • Baking soda: 0.5%, salt: 1%, vanilla: 0.5%
Q

Can I freeze cookie dough?

Yes, cookie dough freezes excellently for up to 3 months. Scoop dough balls onto a sheet pan, freeze until solid (1 hour), then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to the bake time. No need to thaw.

  • Scoop dough balls, freeze on sheet pan 1 hour
  • Transfer frozen balls to freezer bag, up to 3 months
  • Bake directly from frozen, add 1–2 minutes
  • Label bags with cookie type and date
  • Slice-and-bake logs freeze well too
Q

Why chill cookie dough before baking?

Chilling cookie dough for at least 30 minutes (ideally 24–72 hours) improves flavor and texture. Cold dough spreads less during baking, giving thicker cookies. The rest time also allows flour to hydrate and flavors to meld.

  • 30 minutes minimum, 24–72 hours ideal
  • Cold dough spreads less = thicker cookies
  • Flour hydrates for better texture
  • Flavors develop and meld during rest
  • Brown butter cookies especially benefit from chilling
