Jamie Oliver cookies
I found a lovely-looking recipe in Jamie Oliver's Ministry of Food. When I baked them, they dough spread out right across the entire baking tray, so i had one huge cookie! I then did your course on baking and found out about the magic ratio. Checking the recipe, I see that it's 250g butter, 200g caster sugar and 100g plain flour, plus 50g oats, 2 eggs, 1/4 tsp baking powder. Do you think the ingredients have been printed incorrectly? There seems to be way more butter than there should be. I'd love to try the recipe again, but don't want to get the same result. Any advice?
Thanks for a fabulous course.

Hi there Kim,
Shucks, that's a pity about the cookie dough. Which recipe are you looking at that has 250g butter 200 castor sugar ...? I couldn't find it on the Ministry of Food recipes page.
This is the recipe from The Art of Baking course with Sarah Graham for lemon butter biscuits:
200g soft butter
100g castor sugar
2 tsp lemon zest
300g cake flour
A pinch of salt (only if using unsalted butter)
1–2 Tbsp cold water (if needed)
Could you give me a link to the recipe that you are wanting to get right and I'll have a look at it :)
In the mean time, get stuck into lesson 2 of The Art of Baking, it has great course notes, tutorial videos, recipes and a troubleshooting guide to fix those less than perfect cookies.
