When I was teaching my niece Celeste how to make chocolate chip cookies - I had her scoop the flour out with a spoon instead of putting the measuring cup directly into the container and pushing the flour into the cup.
I never knew why - but I knew that, that was the correct way of doing it.
Below are a few good reads and explanation.

When a recipe says to scoop 1 cup of flour - you need to scoop the flour with a spoon into a measuring cup. Once the cup is full - use a knife (I use a chopstick) to level the flour.
If you use the scooper to push flour in, it will be too much flour.
Got that?
