What's the trick to moist and chewy cookies?!


Question: What's the trick to moist and chewy cookies!?
I make chocolate chip cookies, and they taste great when they're fresh!. But after sitting out for an hour or so, they start getting dry, hard, and crunchy!.

What's the trick to making moist and really chewy chocolate chip cookies!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Higher ratio of brown sugar to white sugar!. Brown sugar contains molasses, and is hygroscopic!. It keeps moisture, and draws it from the surrounding air!. it keeps the cookies moist and chewy for days!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

honestly, this is going to sound so weird and gross but substitute some of the flour in the recipe ( about half of it) with ground oatmeal!. 9 just buy regular plain oats and pulverise it in my food processor until its almost as fine as flour!. also, brown sugar helps the chewiness, and dont cook for a long time!. as soon as the middle isnt raw, but not fully cooked pull it out and cool!. the cookie continues to cook after you take them out of the oven!. also, dont over mix the dough!. the more you mix it, the more the glutens develop in the flour and thats what makes it rubbery and gross!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

first, take them out as soon as they start to get golden so they'll be good and soft!. Then only let them cool on a wire rack for about 10 mins, and put them into an airtight container!. That will keep them from getting hard!. They get that way because all the moisture evaporates out of them!. They don't take long to cool!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

1 cup of melted butterscotch chips or homemade caramel!. Use butter, at least 1 cup per recipe!. Place on topside of cookie sheet and turn down heat by 50 F!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

undercook the cookies about 2 minutes and put them in to ziplock bags!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

wish i knew!.mind sharing the recipe for making the chocolate chip cookies!? always wanted to know the recipe!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You are overcooking them!. Take them out of the oven sooner and they won't get so hard when cool!. I have been cooking them with my kids and now grand kids for more than 30 years!.
