Cakey Cookies

Why??? WHY??? My cookies have been coming up rather cakey recently. I don’t know why. I googled for answers. Some of the answers were too much baking soda (possible, the ink numbers rubbed off my measuring spoons), not enough sugar, too much beating of eggs and butter, and on and on.

Ugh, I’m so frustrated. I wasn’t sure what I was baking before as I’ve never made those particular cookies before. But now, now I’m sure the cookies are off. They don’t taste horrible. Just cakey. I want chewy. GRRRR. Tomorrow after work. Buying more ingredients. Attempt again on Friday night. Butter is a go. Need C&H brand white sugar. And new measuring spoons.
