    It’s not a requirement i think, but it will shape up well and easier. You mentioned that only 1/4 did this, maybe it’s due to uneven mixing? Did you use mixer for it or did you mix by hand? Maybe the butter isn’t soft enough so it didn’t mix well?

      I have one of those KitchenAid mixers, that’s what I used. I’m wondering if the butter didn’t melt after the fact while it was sitting in the bowl since these were the last ones that I made

        Did you scrape the bowl while mixing?

        KitchenAid mixers are great, but depending on what you’re mixing you need to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula and then mix some more.

        I don’t think it’s over mixed, I think the cookies made from the batter that was stuck to the sides are under mixed.

          Also, did you fully cream the butter and sugar before adding any other ingredients?

          If you just dump everything into the bowl and then mix, this is what happens

          I think you might be right. Honestly, the number of different responses indicates it could’ve been pretty much everything

        What the other user said, maybe it’s just uneven-mixed batch from the side of the bowl. But if everything doesn’t checks out, then i’m out of idea 😅
