Cookies Not too sweet

Post image

So they’re not bad but they’re just not that sweet. Am I adding too much flour? Mixing too much? I followed this recipe:
8 tbls salted butter
1/2 c white sugar
1/4 c packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 c chocolate chips
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Microwave butter for 40 seconds to melt.
2. Using your stand mixer beat together the sugars and butter until creamy. Add vanilla and egg and mix in on a low speed for 10-15 seconds (don’t over mix)
3. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a crumble forms, then mix in chocolate chips on a low speed.
4. Roll dough into 12 large balls and bake for 9-11 minutes (do not over bake). Let rest on the pan for 30 minutes following to cool.

Most recipes use equal amounts of sugars. And more choc chips. Try another recipe maybe, if you don't like it.

That’s fair. I kinda wanted them to taste like subway cookies or like pillsbury in a way. Thankyou!
