How to properly measure your flour when making cookies
When you measure your flour, do not scoop it out directly as that can lead to using more flour than is needed.
To correctly measure your flour, give the flour a stir with a fork or a whisk to loosen it.
Spoon the flour into cup until it is heaping, then level with the flat side of a knife.
