Joy of Cooking question - cookie estimates
I made pfeffernusse cookies for Christmas and while I admit the batter amounts may have been a tiny amount more than 1 inch across (1 inch was the recommendation), the recipe indicated, I think, that I should have gotten more than 100 cookies. It was just over 30. Each finished cookie melted, of course, and was thus 2 inches in diameter.
I swear, this estimate discrepancy happens a LOT in that book with cookies - and maybe others as well. Does anyone know more about this? Thanks.
Lenona.
