The author name is default mine because I own the site. It’s Alice’s recipe from her site and the post states that.

Thanks so much for getting back to me!  I get it, although stil a bit confused.  I made the recipe mostly because I figured I couldn’t mess It up since the flour is weighed, but I guess I was wrong!  
I guess I will try 11oz and see how that works. Thanks again

Hi Lori – thanks for the comment. Interesting that she change the recipe. Here’s a good chart https://www.kingarthurflour.com/learn/ingredient-weight-chart.html According to the chart 3 cups would be 12 and 3/4’s ounce – so I assume that’s why she reduce the flour to 2 3/4’s cup. Next time you can try using less flour and see if the cookies are more to your liking.

I just made these cookies and they were really delish!  My cookies didn’t flatten out much and were quite puffy though (user error as I haven’t baked in a long time!). I did weigh the flour at 12oz so any idea what else it could be?  I noticed she now has the flour at 2 3/4 cups, but still lists the oz as 12, so I’m confused!  TIA!
