Symptom, cause, fix. Spread flat, would not spread at all, domed and cakey, dry and crumbly, tough, burnt bottoms, puffed then collapsed, soapy, greasy, and the one cookie on the tray that came out unlike the rest. Find yours and get on with it.

  • Built for the middle of a bad batch
  • Every fix is specific, not 'try again'
