Why are my cookies so flat?

Mistake: When cookies turn out flat, the bad guy is often butter that is too soft or even melted. This makes cookies spread. The other culprit is too little flour—don't hold back and make sure you master measuring. Finally, cookies will also flatten if placed and baked on hot cookie sheets.

How do you fix too much sugar in cookie dough?

Make a very slightly sweet matcha or coffee topping, or add the powder to the dough, and let the sweetness of the cookie temper the bitterness. Coat with melted dark chocolate or add unsweetened cocoa to the dough, and it will help cut right through the sugar.

What happens if you use too much sugar in baking?

Sugar interferes with the coagulation of proteins. Adding more sugar to a cake recipe causes the proteins in the flour and eggs to form weaker bonds, creating a more tender, softer crumb. But more is not always better. Excess sugar could weaken a cake structure so much that it collapses.

Can you add more sugar to cookie dough?
