With cooking once you learn how to cook meats and certain veggies/fruit after that it's all just (smack spices to preference) and (add water/milk/etc.) if necessary

⁠@@MaoRattoBro are you okay? 😭

i love that you leave it up to your viewers to decide what works for them instead of saying what the "wrong" way is. it's so refreshing cause honestly if it's working for someone there's no reason to change it!

What I like about this channel is, unlike other baking channels, he doesn't say "this is the correct method" He just tells you the differences between them and let's you decide which you prefer

Oh, man, melted takes it for me. I would use that method every time if I were to bake. These shorts are amazing for figuring out which way cookies can be made in specific ways that can suit most people's preferences.

We just started the melted butter method (we make cookies by hand and sometimes are a bit impatient when waiting for the butter to soften enough to mix without dislocating a shoulder) and we’re befuddled by the difference in the cookie. I had no idea why melting it made a difference, but thank you!

I like browning my butter first. Adds so much flavor

@@lukasausen never said it was wrong to not brown the butter. I learned it from this channel lol. Trying to put the word out there for ppl who don’t know. I didn’t know about it until recently.

If all your shorts were in a cookbook I'd buy it in a heartbeat. They are so informative and helpful.

Oh, so the reason my oatmeal cookies suck is because I make them with the traditional general method of making cookies instead if using melted butter ir reverse creaming.

I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY IT MATTERED

I prefer melted butter bwcause you also get a crispy crust if you wet the pan before putting your parchment paper down. So i get compact, chewy cookies eith a cripsy crust all over like macaroons

Creaming, definitely creaming!

It's awesome someone has taken food chemistry and turned 1,000 words into a few pictures. Bravo my friend. You are a true teacher. It is difficult to turn word into pictures when it comes to chemical reactions and this trype of demo is so efficient in its execution.

My goodness, you're suuuuuch a good teacher. Thanks, Benjamin.

For no reason at all, I really like how he sounds when he says "finally"

Thats crazy how this works and that there IS a sciences to baking the correct cookie.

I honestly do not care. They all look fantastic! I did every single method as a kid when I made cookies. I didn't know the difference and sometimes I'd grab the butter before the eggs or visc versa. 😂 They came out different but not different enough to not eat or not know it was a chocolate chip cookie. So I was happy. ❤

Melted is definitely my type of oatmeal cookie

creaming is the best method for my tastes then i guess! glad i know that now

I’ve always done the creaming method but I might seperate my ingredients into thirds next time and see the differences for myself ! A fun experiment and I can make my friends taste test and tell me which they prefer

Love the channel you don’t know how much your shorts have helped me seriously(I’m in culinary school for professional paistry arts) I was wondering if you could give some tips on a good old opera cake,it gave me a huge challenge in school and think it’s a wonderful bake that many people should know of. Thank you for all those tips and keep it up brother👍🫡

Got to get this right… … gonna make 3 kinds, with raisins, with pumpkin seeds, walnuts, pecans, and raisins swirls frosting, then half/half brownie oatmeal with chocolate chips… Mia habibi

Love your videos

Melted gives the perfect finished product! That's the cookie I'd go crazy for!

Thank you kindly for your videos. They have helped me immensely ❤

I rarely make cookies, so this is intriguing 🤔 I'll have to see what I like!

Thank you 💗

Dense and chewy beats light and fluffy

Or you can be like how I used to "bake" cookies from highschool: buy a Tollhouse cookie dough roll & only cook them for half of the time the packaging says. Then, take your "cookies" out of the oven & put in a bowl & eat with ice-cold milk. You'll likely feel extremely sick afterwards, but it's worth it 😂😂😂

They all look so good! Which texture would he the most ideal? Honestly 2 and 3 look like my ideal oatmeal cookie

Ok, i might try melted. I really like a soft but chewy cookie

Very helpful

DOH these look good

This is basically the difference between my grandma and her sisters cakes. my grandma was a professional Baker and her cakes and her sisters of the same recipe were different in terms of density. Grandma's were light Airy and fluffy but her sisters were densely packed almost like a bread

@netflix or @prime please make a series for this guy. I would watch it for hours and days.

All of this very true I have made all of these types of cookies

Hi Ben :)

So what if you do a reverse melted method?

@thelordoflore6572

I imagine the cookie will have less structure and spread out more than the regular reverse method

Cream

Where's the option where the egg whites and yokes are whisked until fluffy before incorporating? I would imagine that would make for the fluffiest cookie.

reverse is basically like biscuiting but with less gluten development

Is there a way to them like you know crack like when you crack tempered chocolate

I guess it just really depends on how you like your cookies.

Now if you blend the different styles?

What type are these?

I know I’m probably the weird one but while I don’t mind a soft or chewy cookie I much preferred and crunchy cookie but not thin and churchy thick and crunchy like you get sometimes in grocery cookies

What the recipe?

Perhaps pick one of the methods and bake a bit longer for crunchier cookies.

What attachment should I use on my stand mixer to cream the butter and sugar? And which method is best for chocolate chip cookies?

Soo I prefer my cookies not to be chewy. Like, at all. The chocolate chip cookie recipes I have tried to make always make the cookie too chewy for my taste. I want my cookies to be crumbly or 'short', but also thick (so not thin and crispy). I know it also comes down to the sugars (I should put more white sugar instead of brown sugar), but I really like the flavour of brown sugar 🥲 What do you recommend I do?

I do this but honestly if you use a stand mixer the butter will eventually cool down enough that it takes on air and gets lighter. Not as light but enough to still be good. I like my chocolate chips with crisp outer edge and soft inside

I put my brown butter in the fridge while I weigh and/or mix my other ingredients, Because I want my brown butter to be whip-able. Once it's a bit more solid, I'll whip it with a mixer then cream the sugars. I like this method because I don't want my cookies to be flat like ones on methods 2 & 3 that he shown. If I want it to be soft, I'll bake it less than a minute before it's done and cool it. If I want it to be solid with a bit of snap or at least it won't break easily when dipped in milk, bake it 1 minute more after it's done.

@angmiming

Ай бұрын

browning the butter is more for the taste. because you can put it back to the fridge, wait for it to be whip-able, then cream it. It's good if you like your cookies with some nutty flavors from the brown butter. Some like their cookies the simplest but to each is own. In this video, he's showing how the cookies would turn if you whip the butter and sugar vs not. The taste is probably the same, it's just the cookie's texture will change depends on the method, creaming or not creaming the butter.

Interesting... Last method is like middle ground

Melted is the way to good a cookie should be dense and chewy
