Are you in a state that does not have a cottage food law to allow some home baking? You've probably already considered it, but I'll throw it out there anyway...
Unfortunately I have dogs so that's not an option. I wish I could! I'll definitely be cleaning the glass lol. Is it possible to pick your brain about the leavening in my cookies? At home I was happy with 1 tsp baking soda + 1/4 tsp baking powder for 332g flour. With the commercial oven set to 325 instead of 380, they were too dark at all baking times. I reduced to 3/4 tsp soda + 1/4 tsp baking powder. The first picture is one from that recipe. It looked nice at 14 mins but the center needed more time. More time = too much color. I tried again with 5/8 tsp soda + 1/4 tsp b. powder. As you can see, a couple of the large cookies cracked. I assume this means I need to add baking powder, right? Maybe 1/2 tsp soda + 1/2-5/8 tsp baking powder? Thoughts? I wish I had more time to experiment but I'm hoping to make an event next weekend. Feeling the pressure!
