Showerthought: I tried adding a full cup of extra sugar to my basic cookie dough.

I thought it would make them super chewy, but they spread out thin and burned on the edges after 12 minutes. Has anyone else had a sweetener experiment go totally sideways?

Yeah the "spread out thin and burned" part, I used to think more sugar just meant more chew. Turns out it messes with the whole structure, makes it runny before it sets. Learned that the hard way too.

My third batch of cookies taught me that lesson.
