Yeah I don't have a story for this one. Just make the fucking cookies.

FAQs

I don't have a stand mixer...

That's not a question but I'll go with it. You can use a hand mixer but I definitely don't recommend trying to do this without some sort of mixing device.

Almost everything is in grams, can you convert it to US Standard?

I could, but no. I highly recommend getting a kitchen scale. It's honestly a lot easier to mise en place and scale things. Weighing your ingredients also guarantees the same results every time.

Can I use light brown sugar?

I don't really bake with light brown sugar, but sure, go for it. Let me know how it goes! Fair warning: your cookies may not be as soft as it could have been if you use dark brown sugar.

Can I use a silicone mat instead of parchment paper?

You could, but I think this recipe is built for parchment paper. But then again, they're your cookies now.
