I also listened to a podcast today that said letting the dough rest for 24-48 hours allows the flour to hydrate and also gives you a much better texture. Makes sense, but I haven't experimented with it.

Oooeeeyy goooeeeyy, soft and chewy is always the wise choice.

No wonder I like thin and crispy, it has the most butter and sugar. I feel vindicated.

Well. The recipe made 2 lbs 11 oz of cookies. Will try one for breakfast. They are definitely moist. Will have to play around with this recipe. I need to cook hotter next time.______________________________________________I love lamp..

I am not sure doubling the amount of sugar qualifies as a "slight modification"Southeast Florida - LBGE
In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -
The cookies are delicious, couldn't eat just one. (Ate 4). They were chewy and soft but had some crunchy parts. I'll post some pics in a bit.______________________________________________I love lamp..

Do the soft and chewy but half way through baking, take the pan out and slam it on the counter 2-3 times. The cookies will spread and leave a mound in the middle so you get crispy edges and a soft, gooey center.

I regret this journey as I have been a cookie monster.______________________________________________I love lamp..

What's left of the first batch. Gave half of them away.______________________________________________I love lamp.. -
Second batch. I got 29 large cookies out of it. I modified some stuff. Doubled the baking powder, used reeces and dark chocolate, dark corn syrup. Coconut sugar and turbinado. No white sugar. Little more flour______________________________________________I love lamp..
-
Refrigerated the dough over night to stiffen it up to where I could use an icecream scoop. Water to lube it. Sped up the cookie shaping process. I'm cooking hotter and longer.______________________________________________I love lamp..
-
Also doubled the vanilla and used salted butter. So more salt.______________________________________________I love lamp..
-
I'm shooting for a real raw, flavorful old time flavor profile. I also used bread flour this time.______________________________________________I love lamp..

Thanks for sharing your cookie journey. Reece's are a nice addition in my experience, what did you think of those? Andes Mints can also be considered if those are to your liking.

If you change so many variables at once, you won't know what worked and what didn't. I made this mistake when I was doing so many pizzas.___________
So the same people that think humans have no effect on climate change, now are convinced they control the weather?
