Question: What kind of flower should i use when making cookies
well, when i go down the baking isle at the store i see all kinds of flowers, cake flower, all purpose flower!.!. and more!. what is the diff between the flowers!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
You should use an All purpose flour!. Cake flour is more finely ground so that cakes are light but you don't want to use for cookies!. I also wouldn't use Self rising as most cookie recipesinclude baking powder or other leavening agents!. Of course only use wheat or other grain flours if your recipe calls for it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

use all purpose flour, cake flour has other stuff added to it to make it better for cakes, self rising flour has yeast added to it to make it rise, and any others have other stuff besides flour in it!. When most recipes call for just flour, use all purpose, if they want you to use a different type, the recipe usually will specify what kind, like 2 cups_____ flour!. If it says 2cups flour just use all purpose!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think you mean flour, and not flowers which grow in soil!.
Anyway, It depends on the cookies you want to make!. The recipe should indicate exactly what kind of flour to use!. Usually you can use all purpose flour, sometimes whole wheat flour is great for cookies like oatmeal or granola cookies!. Check the recipe!. For cakes I use self rising flour which is great cause then I don't have to add baking powder, it's already in the self rising flour!.
Hope this helps!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Flour comes in many varities as you've noticed!. Cookies do NOT always use all-purpose flour!. The kind you use depends on the other ingredients used in the recipe, Always follow your recipe for using the right flour!. It will tell you whether you need to use all-purpose flour, self rising flour, cake flour, or whatever kind is needed!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

im thinking lavender or maybe even rose!.!.!.!.!.oooh ooh fruschia!!!! lolx
just kidding!.!.!.!.i usually use all-purpose flour (works great with lots of different baking recipes!.!.!.) or I just buy those betty crocker ready-made box recipe thingys!!!!.!.!.!.all you need to add is milk and eggs!!! dead easy! lolx!.!.!.!.obviously im not as pro as most of the ppl above me!.!.!.!.!.im just in it for the cookies!.!.!.!.!.jj!!! lolx!
