Why measure in grams?

If you ask any bakery how they measure, most will say they measure in grams. Measuring by weight is more reliable for desserts because some recipes don’t specify if you should pack your ingredients and do not take into account how different people measure their ingredients.

A common mistake people make in measuring ingredients is when measuring brown sugar. Brown sugar is clumpier than normal sugar because it is mixed with molasses. 100 grams of white sugar is equivalent to 100 grams of packed brown sugar—though most people don’t pack their brown sugar the same way, so you will most likely not get the same measurement unless using a scale.

Food scales are such an amazing and cheap investment to make for your kitchen because they will allow you to copy recipes perfectly because they are far more reliable and allow you to not use as many dishes! Click here to order a food scale!

What Ingredients make this Vegan?

The only ingredients that allow this cookie dough to be vegan is changing the butter to vegan butter, removing the egg, and changing the normal chocolate into a vegan chocolate.

Chocolate normally contains whey protein and milk. Thus, making it not vegan. There are many alternatives, such as dark chocolate.

If you are following a strict vegan diet, you may consider All-purpose flour to not be vegan due to the wheat. Though All-Purpose flour is considered safe for vegans, sometimes there are additives in the wheat flour that are derived from animals. There are many alternatives that can be substituted in this recipe, if you are not comfortable with the All-Purpose Flour. Here are some alternatives:

  • Coconut Flour

  • Almond Flour

  • Oat Flour (blended up oats)


Kitchen Equipment
