My kitchen tip for today is for softer cookies. I always take cookies out of the oven a minute or two before they are supposed to be done to cut down on too hard cookies. They seem to be underdone when they first come out, but a few minutes later they look (and taste!) soft and perfectly done! Other things I routinely do to our cookies is substitute some whole wheat flour and use 1/2 the chocolate chips to make them a little healthier (so we can eat more:)
Thanks for the tip! :) I agree with this, ESPECIALLY if you use butter in your cookies. For some reason, overbaking ANYTHING with butter in it makes it crunchier. Bleh!
ReplyDeleteI like your part about cutting the chocolate chips in half. Actually, I don't ;-) I use ALL the chocolate chips, and then add another cup of butterscotch :-) bake them up, and send them with Gabe to work, only keeping a few for us! hee hee hee (cue ingenius laughter) *denaye*
ReplyDeleteAnother thing that helps for softer cookies is my dd (13) flatens the cookie dough instead of dropping. I think this cuts down on baking time. She was so smug about it too. I used the same recipe and they were hard.
