![]() I’d never used vegan butter before, even though it’s similar to margarine right? Anyway I used the Earth Balance sticks as the recipe suggested, and I prefer to weigh all my ingredients so I went metric – and this is one of my favorite things about all the recipes here actually. I made these for dessert when my boyfriend and I had a vegan couple over for supper and I cannot believe how incredible they were. It’s true that different brands of flour can weigh in at slightly various amounts per cup, but I’m guessing you would be a lot closer to the intended amount if the whole “heaping” idea is avoided. My advice: if you have a little kitchen scale, click over to the metric measurement tab and weigh your flour. Gah! What a waste of time and ingredients. Turns out the heaping is subjective and I apparently added 20g too much-discovered after the dough was mixed and cookies baked. Why? I ended up weighing the heaped 1.5 c of flour, so I could note whether I might need to make adjustments if I decide to make the cookies again. ![]() So, I resisted the urge to stir the flour, spoon in the cup and level off. Who does that? One reviewer said that her dough looked more like cake batter and I thought it might be because she didn’t use quite enough flour due to the vague “heaping” measurement. This recipe sounded promising, but the flour measurement is described as a “heaping” 1.5 cups. I really, really wish I had noticed that Minimalist Baker has a metric conversion for their measurements.
