All baking recipe ingredients should be in weight, not volume. - eviltoast

I’m tired of guessing which country the author is from when they use cup measurement and how densely they put flour in it.

    bad practices become bad policies. minor issues scale terribly. its not crazy to want to do things appropriately.

    as others have pointed out, scaling is far easier than washing handfuls of measuring devices. i can easily counter with your process sucks and takes more work just because you lack counterspace as opposed to dishwashing space.

    just because you dont want to be exact doesnt mean others cant or shouldnt.

      I’m getting high as fuck and baking treats for my friends and coworkers, not making something for a competition or dignitary. The process is irrelevant, what i was saying is that whatever you are comfortable with you should use. I can quickly scoop out 3 cups of flour and a cup and a half of sugar in the same time you can weigh them out. And at the end of the day no one will be able to tell the difference between our cookies. The temperature and humidity of your kitchen is going to have way more of an impact on your final product than a 2-5% variation in the quantity of ingredients.
