I like the look of the wrong cookie it’s just so perfect and cartoony. But I do love the soft gooey texture of the cookies baked the correct way

[evelyngrammar]

Ah, now I know why I don't use melted butter. I love crispy cookies, not gooey ones.

I have been a melted butter convert for awhile now. The combination of melted butter and brown sugar lends a caramel-y flavor to the cookies. I still use chocolate chips for convenience. I hate the mess that chopped chocolate makes. Chilling your dough is a must!

[karlfrias]

I really like these kinds of videos because it satisfies my curiosity of "why should I not do this or do that" kind of stuffs. I really question sometimes about something and how really affects the end product of baked goods. Thank you Gemma for sharing this! Definitely will make again a better choco chip cookie than last time.

Can I request for a cheesecake version of this, or maybe perhaps a cake? I really sometimes screw up when I do those. Thank you once again!!!

This is awesome! I’ve been loving this “How NOT to Make” series!!! Hope you do more! Thanks for sharing, Gemma!

[BuruRaven]

Interesting! Some people do prefer crispy cookies with clearly defined chocolate bits, though.

I had never made cookies at home. The first time I made was your best ever choc chip cookies and they came out perfect. My kids loved it. So now it's my go to recipe for choc chip cookies. Thank you Gemma🤗

[adrianazavala]

Wow you just blew my mind! I have been doing it all wrong. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[cedarcottagefarm]

Mine come out perfect every time and I just make the old Toll House recipe. They are soft and chewy with the chips nice and soft.

[drewtheshark]

Thank you so much! I'm loving this series so far. Can you do a video about how NOT to make oatmeal cookies?

[thomasmckinney]

Love the good and quick information you give with comparisons, love the series especially as a young aspiring cook.

[seanking]

0:41 You could cream the Softened Butter with Light Brown Sugar and White Sugar and that would get you something similar to the NYT Chocolate Chip Cookies but yeah I definitely Agree with you on NOT to use Chocolate Chips at all but instead a Chocolate Bar or Discs 2:13

[rattango]

I made one with hershey's chocolate chips and wondered why they didnt melted. Definitely getting a bar instead next time.

[mmakomanyatja]

Thank you Gemma for demonstrate it really help

[MsSparky]

Hey Gemma...I really like this new series you have started, how NOT to make, do please make more of such videos, they're very helpful, indeed.

This is SO helpful! The chocolate chip cookie really is the holy grail of cookies, it's nice to have a guide like this so I can make perfect cookies every time! I think I'll go make some now!
