Houston... I've killed the cookies.
Perhaps I'm just the stupidest person in the world, but I have this difficulty in making cookies.Normally it's that I add too much of one ingridient, or too little of another, or that I set the oven to the wrong time. My whole family is mad, because we were having a party, and Mom told me to make cookies, except they were quite horrible, and one guest threw-up. Is there anything I can do to fix this problematic situation!

Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Cooking?
Only one thing to do:
Slow your booty down and READ THE DAMN INTRUCTIONS.
If you can't read the instructions in the recipe, then how can you expect us to believe that you would follow the advice in this column. You seem literate enough. Quit psyching yourself out over it and just follow the directions,

Get a cookbook with a simple cookie recipe(like chocolate chip)in it and follow the recipe precisely and exactly. It will tell you everything.

Its all about simplicity....use already made dough. I suggest Toll house cookies. Just brake and bake....plus they are always delicious.

You can get the cookies that are already baked ??? / or you can just get the cookie dough that is already made and follow the directions on the back

I would just like watch more carefully at what you are doin.. thats pretty much all you can do.. or you could just go and buy cookies :-P

Make sure you follow the directions very very carefully and if you notice a mistake that you are about to make take it to mind and remember it for next time or you could cook with a friend and have her watch you and see what goes wrong or you could just cook with a friend.-trix

That's hard for me to imagine, because my cookies are always very perfect.
If you're making something that calls for butter and sugar, mix the butter and sugar together to make a creamy sugary paste.
Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl all at once (carefully! Read everything you do! Do it in order!) and THEN add the wet ingredients.
Things like eggs, baking powder, and baking soda are for making baked goods puff up and stay fluffy. Crisco, shortening, butter and oil make things heavy and fattening. The more grease in your cookies, the thicker they will be.
"Drop cookies" go on the sheet in spoonfuls. If the batter is runny or won't stay in spoonfuls, you've made pancakes instead of cookies--add more flour. If the batter is crumbly and won't stick together, add a FEW drops (literally, a small spoonful) of water and mix until it's sticky and thick.
Always test your cookie dough before you bake it. :)
Most cookies go in the oven for about nine minutes--9 to 11 usually gets it. When they are no longer wet-looking in the middle, they're done. Let them cool on a baking rack where air can get underneath.
If all else fails, run like hell to the store and buy something from the bakery there. They're usually sort of tasteless and sugary, but they're better than Disaster Cookies.
Last of all, the recipe for chocolate chip cookies on the back of the chocolate chip bag is always the best one in existance.

What did you do confuse salt for sugar? :)
Cooking isn't that hard. You just need to pay attention to what you are doing:
-Simply follow the recipie
-Always use fresh ingredients
-Pay attention to your mesurements
-There is a differnece between baking soda and baking powder! As well as butter and magrine.
-Pre-heat the oven for 10-15 min before baking
-Always cook for less time than called for. (You can always cook something for an extra minute or two)
-Undercook cookies, the are still cooking when cooling on the pan
-Remove from pan only when cool
