Combine 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup light brown sugar, and 2 sticks of room temperature butter. Add two eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly in between. Add 1/2 tsp of vanilla, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp of salt and beat again. Then add 3 cups of flour and mix well. Add a package of chocolate chips, and either nuts or toffee chips if you choose. Bake at 325 for 12 minutes

Does anyone know the secret of getting them to stay soft after they cool? I can't seem to do it. Either they're so gooey when I take them out of the oven that they fall apart because they aren't done enough, or they are too crispy.

i think i heard something about putting them on paper towels...like it soaks up some water(steam from cookie?) or something???? idk thats just what i've heard

That seems like, if anything, it would make them drier.

"Keep cookies soft by following these steps. First, do not over bake them. Bake the cookies just until they are golden brown, not dark brown. Next, don't leave them on the cookie sheets for more than a minute or two. The cookies will continue baking on the hot sheet even after you have removed them from the oven. And finally, store them in an air-tight container as soon as they are cooled. If you leave cookies out in the open for too long even soft baked cookies will turn into crunchy ones. - Michelle"

I do all that

I've pretty much written them off as one of the things I just can't cook.

Another trick is to put a piece of bread in the container with the cookies. That will really help keep them soft. At least it's what my Grandma does.

Make sure your cookie batter is COLD when you start. If it's warm, your cookies spread too much during baking, which makes them prone to being overbaked before browning. Also, don't just slop dough onto a warm pan, for the same reason. This is due to the butter in the batter.

i think ^ and ^^ are good tips to try

6/21/2007 6:05:40 PM

Put the cookies in a bag with a slice of bread. The cookies will soften after a few hours.

i make some dank reese cup chocolate chip cookies. You should make those.

You can also add applesauce to any cookies/cakes you bake. Makes the very moist. Heard mayo does the same, but haven't tried it.

6/21/2007 6:39:41 PM

Mayo works great for cornbread

6/21/2007 7:38:07 PM

Mayo ain't nuttin' but oil and egg yolks and maybe some vinegar and lemon juice and spices of sorts. But I've heard of a lot of folks using it in cakes and whatnot.
