How to make chewy cookies?
Baking Questions
The secret to soft and chewy cookies lies in several factors:
- Use more brown sugar than white (the molasses retains moisture)
- Add an extra egg yolk
- Don't over-bake — remove the cookies when the center still looks slightly undone, they will continue cooking on the tray
- Add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the dough for extra softness
