Shoutout to the people who actually weigh their flour

I watched my neighbor scoop from the bag and her cookies spread into one giant sheet, but my recipe from a bakery in Portland says 120 grams per cup and they come out perfect. Why is this still a debate?

Right? It's not even a debate, it's just science. I don't get how people wing it.

People wing it? That's like skipping the recipe and hoping for cake.

Hold up, you're missing the whole point of creativity. Some of the best stuff ever made came from just trying things without a strict plan. Following a recipe step by step kills the chance for a happy accident, you know? It's like music, a lot of iconic riffs were just messed around with until they sounded cool. Treating everything like a science experiment makes things boring and safe. You gotta leave room to figure it out as you go sometimes.
