My aunt told me my cookies tasted like sweet sand, so I started weighing flour on a $12 scale

I brought chocolate chip cookies to my aunt Linda's birthday in Sacramento back in March and she said, and I quote, "these taste like sweet sand." I was using the scoop and level method from the recipe card and apparently packed in way too much flour. Now I weigh everything in grams, 120 grams per cup, and the cookies finally spread right instead of sitting there like little dry pucks. Does anyone else weigh flour or am I overthinking this?
