WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??!

Ok, I am seriously depressed. My chocolate chip cookies are coming out flatter than a pancake. Which is saying something because I make some fluffy pancakes. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Ok, maybe because I'm not spooning the flour into the cup. Or, because my baking soda is old. Hmmm?

I made a batch of cookies last night, and everything looked fine until I pulled the baking sheet out of the oven. The cookies had spread way too much and they turned brown after I let them rest on the sheet. Nothing at all like the first time I tried the recipe. AGGGHHHH! They turned out delicious, but not pretty.

I need to change something. I am obsessed. What to do? Ok, I think I'm going to try using less soda and more powder. And maybe, spoon the flour instead of scooping it. I hate flour.

I'm having a bake-off against myself. That way only I can win. Hehe.

I'll post the results next week.
