Extruding question - cookie logo part 1

At about 4:27 on the cookie logo vid part 1 - How did you extrude and scale to get that perimeter edge loop correct  without going into side or front mode and dragging down on z axis to get it flat?   With it being more than a half circle i cant get mine to look like yours without doing that.   Its not a huge deal but every little bit saves some time & work & I would like to try and be efficient as I can.    ps I assume with the logo that all the geometry in this is parallel to the "ground".

    Hey Curtis! In the video I confirm the extrusion before scaling. If your scaling isn't keeping everything flat, make sure you're using Median Point for the pivot and not the 3D Cursor.

    Ahh ,  you did extrude with  E and confirmed  leaving the geometry in its current position then scaled with median point pivot .     Got it!  Working now!  Thanks! :)
