It really depends on the recipe and how long they are baked!. To cook a soft baked cookie, remove the cookie sheet from the oven when the cookies look done on the top and are not at all brown around the sides!. Leave the cookie sheet on top of the stove for 8-9 minutes to finish baking!. This will create a moister cookie!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Whatever they put in Play-Doh to keep it from drying out !.!.!. I swear it's the same thing they add to those soft cookies!
The soft Chips Ahoy smell and taste about like Play-Doh!. Gakkkk!.
I've found that just baking cookies for a shorter amount of time !.!.!. taking them out of the oven when they look barely done !.!.!. keeps them a little softer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well you can do it a couple of ways!. The time you cook a cookie can determine the crunchyness!. You can also add alot of whipped butter to make cookies softer and less butter for harder cookies!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Its the amount of time you bake them for ( if you want to make them from home) !. IF you want them soft not crunchy try baking them for 10 Min's instead of the normal 13-17 Min's!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
I think it's the ingredients you use like weather it's white sugar or dark sugar or honey to sweeten it and the way you mix it and what pan you cook it on and how longWww@FoodAQ@Com
i heard that if you add preservatives they stay soft, also I heard if you add crisco instead of butter they stay soft, but who knows, good question!Www@FoodAQ@Com
its just the mixture and how long there cooked for the soft ones are cookie dough but the crunchie ones are a dryer miture that are cooked longerWww@FoodAQ@Com
they put SO MUCH preservatives in them that they taste like nasty butt, the hard crunchy ones may be kinda hard to shew, but at least they don't taste like baboon butt!Www@FoodAQ@Com
