Two sticks of butter equals to how much butter? Would these work in a microwave, I do not have an oven

Nayna, 2 sticks of butter is 1 cup, which is around 225gms. Sorry, I don’t use microwave oven for baking.

Is it okay to substitute All Purpose flour with Self Rising flour? What’s the difference? Also what’s the deal with baking soda and baking powder? Aren’t both used in baking?

Self rising flour is all purpose flour plus baking powder and salt. So a recipe using self rising flour will not call for additional salt and baking powder. It is sometimes used instead of all purpose flour while baking egg free to give the lift that eggs would give. But I’m pretty sure that simply substituting that for all purpose flour and omitting the eggs in the recipe will not give the desired results. I have not experimented this.

You can substitute one with the other but you would have to adjust the quantity of baking powder accordingly.

Baking powder and baking soda are different and cannot be used interchangeably. Check the following for exact details.

My cookies sort of melted in the oven as a result they were thin after they baked..they tasted ok as I removed them after 7-8 mins of baking….still I am wondering what I did wrong..I followed the recipe to the T.

Shalini, thanks for trying the recipe. There are couple of reasons why cookies spread very much. 1) If the butter is very soft. Keeping it at room temperature for 30-40 minutes should be fine. If you press your index finger on the stick of butter, you should be able to leave a fingerprint and slight indentation on the stick but shouldn’t be soft in appearance. 2) Also if you use a warm baking sheet the cookies will spread very much. The very first time I baked choc. chip cookies, I had placed the empty baking sheet on the oven while it was preheating and when I dropped the batter and kept it in the oven the cookies became like dosa/crepes.

Also it’s advisable to test one cookie first. If you think it’s spreading, keep the dough in the fridge for about 30 minutes and then bake, it should be fine.
