Adding Flour To Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies

Helen McMahon here for Expert Village. Our batter is beating away happily. What we need to add now is flour. This recipe, as we mentioned before calls for 2 1/4 cups of flour. If it tells you sift the flour, you can sift it if you'd like. I find that in the interest of getting job done faster, I sort of just spoon it up in the cup and let it spill out quite easily. Then I just use the top of the container to level it. Need a little bit more in there. That works perfectly fine. Saves you the step of sifting the flour and it does it's job just as well. One more cup. Agiain, be sure that you level it properly. Sometimes you need a couple more of those until you get it just right. I'll try it on this side. Sometimes when you stop your machine, the beater gets to an akward position. The other is 1/4 cup more. Again, I'll kind of spoon it out a little bit to make it a little looser. Okay, we now have my 2 1/4 cups. What you can do sometimes to prevent it from rising in a floury shower all around it to stir it in a little bit. Alternatively, you can just pulse your beater slightly for a minute or a couple of minutes until it becomes nicely incorporated. Always at a low speed at first. Otherwise, you find the flower just rises up all over the place. There you see it being properly incorporated in with the other ingredients. The flour is now merging with the sugar, the eggs, the butter, the vanilla, the salt and the baking soda. It continues to beat. Once again, we'll stop the machine so that we can scrape down the sides of the bowl and also the beaters.
